Step 1
Pat the 2 mackerel fillets dry with paper towels. Score the skin in a few places, then sprinkle both sides with the 1 tsp salt.
Step 2
Preheat your grill or broiler to high. Place the fillets skin-side up on a foil-lined tray.
Step 3
Grill for 6-8 minutes, until the skin is crisp and charred in spots and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
Step 4
Serve hot with the lemon wedges for squeezing over.
