Free Healthy Recipe - Mediterranean Mackerel

Dairy free, Low carbohydrate, Low fat

This dish is delicious cooked in a covered BBQ. If you don't have a BBQ, cook it slowly on a hot plate. I use slimy mackerel for this dish that are approx 800g - 1kg in size. While the name doesn't exactly encourage a call to buy, rest assured, it's not slimy and it does taste good.

Ingredients
Basil and Rocket Pesto:
¼ bunch basil
¼ bunch rocket leaves
1 lemon zested and juiced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Main Recipe:
4 whole mackerel, approx 650 g each, cleaned and gutted
4 sprigs thyme
4 sprigs rosemary
Method

Preheat a grill or BBQ pan and brush with oil.

Add the basil, rocket, lemon juice and zest, garlic, oil and seasoning to a blender and blend until all the ingredients are well combined.
Score the mackerel along the sides of its thickest parts of its body and rub in the basil and rocket paste both inside and out.
Sprinkle the fish with the herbs and tomatoes and transfer to the grill.
Cook for 25 - 30 minutes turning once after 15 minutes.

Shopping Tip: Make the fish shop the last port of call before going home. Transport the mackerel in an esky or cool bag and refrigerate it immediately in coldest part of your fridge. Cook on the night of purchase.
