While the quinoa cooks, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. 4. Brush the mackerel fillet with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. 5. Grill the mackerel for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky. 6. Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. 7. Serve the grilled mackerel over the lemon herb quinoa, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
