Korean Grilled Mackerel Godeungeo

- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp scallions, sliced
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 lemon wedge (optional)
Instructions
- Pat the mackerel fillet dry and sprinkle both sides with coarse salt.
- Rest the fish for 15 minutes, then pat dry again.
- Mix the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil for a dipping sauce.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Grill the mackerel skin-side down for 4-5 minutes until crisp.
- Flip and cook 3 more minutes until the flesh flakes easily.
