Steps

Pat the mackerel fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Place the mackerel fillet skin-side down in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden.
Flip the fillet and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, chopped parsley, and lemon juice.
Remove the fillet from the pan, spoon the lemon herb sauce on top, and garnish with a lemon wedge.
Serve immediately with your choice of side.
