Steps

3. Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Brush the mackerel fillet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
5. Grill the mackerel for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
6. Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in lemon juice, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper.
7. Serve the grilled mackerel on a bed of lemon herb quinoa, garnished with lemon wedges.
