In the world of gastronomy, there is a delicious Korean delicacy that stands out for its simplicity, healthiness, and unique flavor – Grilled Mackerel (Godeungeo-gui). South Korea, with its vast coastline and rich seafood resources, has naturally incorporated seafood into its culinary traditions. Mackerel is one of the common fish varieties in Korea, highly prized for its firm flesh and rich taste. Godeungeo-gui is not only delicious but also healthy. Fish is a good source of protein and Omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for heart health. Additionally, it provides a wealth of vitamins and minerals, making it a well-rounded choice for the dining table.

Instructions
-
Use a sharp knife to create shallow diagonal cuts on both sides of the mackerel. This will ensure the fish cooks evenly and absorbs the flavors. Brush the mackerel lightly with cooking oil. This will help achieve a crispy skin. Sprinkle salt generously over both sides of the mackerel. Be sure to season inside the cavity as well.
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. Place the seasoned mackerel on the grill grates, diagonal cuts facing down. Grill for about 3 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through. The skin should be crispy, and the flesh should easily flake with a fork.
-
Transfer the grilled mackerel to a serving platter and garnish with lemon wedges. Grilled mackerel is often served with a side of steamed rice, kimchi, and other banchan (Korean side dishes).
