- Preparation: 50 min
- Cooking: 30 min
- Makes: 1 serving (291 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Pescatarian, Dairy-free, High protein
- Contains: fish, gluten
Ingredients
- 200 g Mackerel, whole, cleaned (weight of the flesh)
- 8 g Vegetable oil
- 1.5 g Paprika
- 2 g Garlic
- 3 g Parsley, fresh
- 1 g Salt
- 0.3 g Black pepper
- 15 g Lemon wedge
- 60 g Bread roll (Semmel)
Method
- Scale and gut the fish (or ask the fishmonger to), rinse it inside and out and pat it dry. Cut shallow diagonal slashes into the skin on both sides, about 2 cm apart.
- Stir the oil with the paprika, crushed garlic, chopped parsley, salt and pepper. Rub it all over the fish and into the cavity and slashes, then leave it to marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Push a long wooden stick (soaked in water for 30 minutes) or a metal skewer in through the mouth and along the backbone almost to the tail.
- Light a charcoal grill and let it burn down to glowing embers. Set the fish on its stick at an angle beside the embers, about 20-30 cm away, or lay it on the grill rack over moderate heat.
- Grill for 25-30 minutes, turning every 5 minutes and brushing with any marinade left in the dish, until the skin is crisp and golden and the flesh flakes easily from the bone at the thickest part.
- Serve on the stick, wrapped in paper, with a lemon wedge and a crusty roll.
