GRILLED KING MACKEREL RECIPES

Steps:

• Place fish 4 to 5 inches from hot coals; grill 10 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove from grill; set aside, and keep warm.
• Lightly toast bread slices on both sides. Combine butter and lemon juice; beat until smooth. Spread over hot toast; cut toast in half. Serve grilled fish over toast, and garnish with lemon slices and watercress.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 or 4 seconds). Using a sharp knife, make a few slashes in skin on both sides of fish. Open fish like a book. Season inside with salt and pepper, and drizzle with oil. Thinly slice 1 lemon; arrange lemon and thyme sprigs over 1 side of fish. Close fish, and rub oil all over skin.
• Grill fish until skin is charred on 1 side, about 10 minutes. Carefully turn fish; cover, and cook until flesh inside is opaque, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer fish to a platter, and open like a book. Drizzle with oil and juice from remaining lemon.
