How to Make Mustard Broil Mackerel

  1. Bone and fillet 1 pound of mackerel (or substitute with your favorite white fish).
  2. Rinse fillets under cold water and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
  3. Place fillets, skin-side down, on a greased broiler pan.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon melted butter, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Brush mixture evenly over the fish.
  5. Broil 2 to 3 inches from the heat source for 5 minutes. Do not turn the fish.
  6. In the same small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter with 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, and the juice of 1/2 a lemon.
  7. Pour the mustard-butter mixture evenly over the fillets.
  8. Broil for another 5-7 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Watch closely to avoid overcooking.
  9. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.
