Broiled Mackerel Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Broiled Mackerel Recipe, first select a medium-sized fresh mackerel, wash, and wipe very dry. Take out the gills and insides. Split it down the back and wipe the inside thoroughly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and brush it over with a little butter. Put it on the broiler with the inside next to the fire, which must be clear and hot. When nearly done, turn and cook on the outside. It is done when the backbone can be easily removed. Take out the bone, lay the fish on a hot platter with the inside uppermost, and pour over it a tablespoonful of butter, 2 teaspoonfuls of lemon juice, a teaspoonful of minced parsley, salt, and pepper, and set it in the oven for a few minutes until the butter and lemon juice are absorbed.
