Pan Fried Mackerel

Recipe by

Pan Fried Mackerel

What mackerel lacks in looks, it makes up for in flavour and nutrition. Mackerel is a great source of high quality protein, vitamins and minerals and omega 3 fatty acids that are essential for maintaining optimal health. A fish that’s so rich in flavour like this would work perfectly with the acidity of a fresh tomato salad.

Simple, quick and my 12.5 year old son loved it even though I was out of parika. As far as quantities are concerned, it's hard to go wrong. A "splash" of red wine is all you need. Thank for this. The oven where I'm living for a bit bust so I had to find a way of cooking a couple of mackerel and I had everything but the paprika in stock.
