There's nothing like a flavorful grilled mackerel dinner to transport you to the sun-kissed coasts of Italy tonight!

1

Start by cleaning the mackerel. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

2

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

3

Gently score the skin of the mackerel in a few places to allow the marinade to penetrate.

4

Rub the marinade all over the mackerel, ensuring it gets into the scores. Let it marinate for 15 minutes while you prepare your grill.

5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

6

While the grill is heating, slice the lemon in half. One half will be for squeezing over the grilled fish, and the other will be used to place on the grill.

7

Once the grill is ready, place the lemon halves cut side down on the grill until they are charred, about 4-5 minutes.

8

Now, place the mackerel on the grill. Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes. You know they are ready to flip when the flesh becomes opaque and lifts easily from the grill.

9

Once grilled to your liking, remove the mackerel from the grill and let them rest for a minute.

Serve with grilled lemon on the side for an extra zing!
