How to Make Mackerel Broiled Boston Or Atlantic Mackerel
- Ask your fishmonger to clean and split 2 mackerel fillets for broiling, or buy 2 (6-ounce) pre-cleaned fillets.
- Preheat your broiler to 450°F (232°C).
- Brush both sides of each mackerel fillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Place the fillets, skin-side down, on a greased broiler pan rack, 2 inches below the heating element.
- Broil for 5 minutes, then carefully flip the fish and broil for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the mackerel broils, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
- Place the cooked mackerel on a warmed serving platter.
- Pour the lemon-garlic butter sauce generously over the fish.
- Sprinkle lightly with 1/4 teaspoon paprika and serve immediately.
