Mackerel shashlik on a grill on a grill

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry mackerel kebab on a grill? If you are using frozen fish, you must first defrost it at room temperature (for express defrosting, you can place the mackerel in cold water). Cut off the heads and tails (remove the entrails, if any), rinse the carcasses well under running water and dry with paper towels. Prepare everything you need for the marinade.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a separate small container, add one spoon of honey, ground red pepper and allspice. You can also add chili pepper if you wish. Pass the garlic through a press and send it there.

3. STEP 3

   

   Squeeze the juice of half a large lemon into a plate with honey, garlic and spices, mix everything thoroughly until smooth. Cut the squeezed lemon into arbitrary medium pieces.

4. STEP 4

   

   Chop the greens not very finely. The recipe used fresh cilantro and a few sprigs of thyme. Parsley or basil work very well.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add the greens to the marinade and mix everything again.

6. STEP 6

   

   Rub the fish with marinade on all sides and inside the belly too.

7. STEP 7

   

   Stuff the mackerel carcasses with sliced ​​lemon and a few sprigs of herbs.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place each carcass on foil.

9. STEP 9

   

   Wrap the fish well and refrigerate for at least half an hour.

10. STEP 10

    

    Light the grill and wait for the wood to burn out. Next, there are two ways to cook mackerel. It can be baked in foil on a wire rack, or without it. If you are a fan of a pronounced smoky taste and smell, then you should remove the foil. Remove as much greenery as possible from the fish, as it can burn heavily during cooking. Grease the grate well with vegetable oil, place the mackerel on it and place it on the coals.

11. STEP 11

    

    Bake the mackerel, turning the grill occasionally, until done (this will take about twenty to thirty minutes). The heat in the grill should not be strong, otherwise there is a chance that the delicate skin of the fish will burn and the meat inside will remain raw.

Your mackerel kebab is described so deliciously that it makes my mouth water, I think you can also add tomato, tomato goes very well with mackerel, and the color scheme will be brighter
