    Ingredients

    • 4 mackerel fillets
    • 1 lime, zested and juiced
    • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    • Butter, for greasing
    • Steamed baby bok choi, to serve
    • Lime wedges to serve
    • For the sauce
    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 1 red chilli, deseeded and sliced thinly
    • 1 lime, juiced
    • Thumb-sized piece ginger, grated
    • 2 tablespoons muscovado sugar

    Method

    • Preheat a grill to medium-high.

    • Rub the lime zest and juice over the mackerel, then massage with olive oil.

    • Brush with a little butter and grill for 3-4 minutes, skin-side up. Brush with more butter, turn the fillets over and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until cooked through (the flesh should be opaque at the thickest part).

    • While the mackerel is grilling, make the sauce. Mix the soy, chilli and ginger in a small bowl, then stir in the sugar.

    • Once the fish has cooked, transfer to a serving plate and drizzle the sauce.

    • Serving Suggestions: Serve the mackerel drizzled with the sauce and scattered with the grated ginger and on steamed baby bok choi. Also, serve with lime wedges for your better taste experience.
