Season the mackerel fillet with salt and pepper. Place it skin-side down in the hot skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. 5. Carefully flip the fillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fish is cooked through. 6. Once the quinoa is ready, fluff it with a fork and stir in lemon juice, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper. 7. Serve the mackerel on a bed of lemon herb quinoa, garnished with lemon wedges.
