Crispy & Moist Grilled Mackerel (Godeungeo-gui)
♥ [Newlywed’s Table] Crispy and Moist Grilled Mackerel
A rice and drink thief! Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside. Grilled mackerel enjoyed at home. Yunvely’s secret fish grilling recipe revealed.
Ingredients- 1 mackerel
- 1/2 Tbsp turmeric powder
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the mackerel by cleaning it thoroughly. Remove any internal organs or fins for a cleaner taste and presentation.
Step 2
To eliminate any fishy odor, soak the mackerel in rice water for about 10 minutes. Rice water is excellent at absorbing and neutralizing unwanted smells.
Step 3
After soaking, gently pat the mackerel dry with paper towels, removing as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy skin and preventing oil splattering.
Step 4
Yunvely’s secret for banishing fishiness! Sprinkle turmeric powder evenly over the entire surface of the mackerel. Turmeric not only neutralizes the odor but also imparts a beautiful golden hue, making the fish visually appealing.
Step 5
Place the coated mackerel in a preheated pan over low heat and cook for 8 minutes. Cooking over low heat ensures that the fish cooks through evenly without burning the exterior.
Step 6
After 8 minutes, carefully flip the mackerel and cook the other side for another 7 minutes over low heat. Aim for a uniform golden-brown color on both sides.
Step 7
Once perfectly grilled, drizzle fresh lemon juice over the mackerel. This brightens the flavor and adds a refreshing touch, making it an ideal side dish for rice or a perfect accompaniment to drinks. Enjoy your delicious, restaurant-quality grilled mackerel!
