Ingredients

  • 4 piece mackerel fillets
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp ground black pepper

Steps

  1. Pat the mackerel fillets dry and rub them all over with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic, salt and pepper.
  2. Leave them to marinate for 10 minutes so the paprika flavours the flesh.
  3. Lay the fillets skin side up in the air fryer basket in a single layer, without overlapping them.
  4. Cook at 200°C for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway, until the skin is crisp and the flesh flakes easily.
  5. Finish with lemon juice and chopped parsley and serve hot.
