Fremgangsmåde

Trin for trin

1
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Ca. 3 min.
2
Pat the mackerel fillets dry with paper towels.
Kokkens note: Drying the fish helps achieve a crispier skin.
3
Brush both sides of the mackerel fillets with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper.
Ca. 1 min.
4
Place the mackerel fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill.
5
Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Ca. 10 min.
Kokkens note: Cooking time may vary based on fillet thickness.
6
While the fish is grilling, prepare the bread by slicing it lengthwise.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: You can lightly toast the bread on the grill for extra crunch, if desired.
7
Assemble the sandwiches by placing lettuce leaves inside the bread.
Ca. 1 min.
8
Carefully transfer a grilled mackerel fillet into each piece of bread.
9
Top the fish with sliced tomato and red onion.
