Steps

1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain. 2. In a small pot, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. 3. 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.
