Pan-Fried Mackeral (Healthy 10 Minute Recipe)

Pan-Fried Mackeral (Healthy 10 Minute Recipe)

Here is my go-to quick and easy meal that is super healthy and delicious!

If you never made Pan-Fried Mackeral before, you are missing out. All you need is a little bit of salt and pepper, and you are ready to go in less than 10 minutes. I love to eat mine with a big bowl of rice, some grated daikon, and lemon on the side, as well as a big bowl of miso soup. This recipe is especially perfect for a weekend brunch, just like the one I made Dom for his birthday! 

Pan-Fried Mackeral (Healthy 10 Minute Recipe)

My Pan-Fried Mackeral was initially from my 20-minute dinner series in January, but I had so many recipes I never ended up posting it.

However, here is my super easy recipe for one of my go-to healthy, fast meals due to popular demand. I like to cut criss-cross across my Mackeral as I find this prevents the skin from falling off when pan-frying, and it also helps the skin become more crispy. 

Healthy Asian dinner

Not only is Mackeral delicious, but it also has so many health benefits.

Mackeral has a substantial amount of Omega 3 Fatty Acids, is rich in protein, contains alot of Vitamin B12, and is more affordable than other seafood such as salmon. It is a popular protein in Asia, and many households have Mackeral for breakfast. 

Healthy Asian Brunch

The number one concern when making Pan-Fried Mackeral is the smell. I am not going to lie; making any type of seafood will always have a strong odor.

A popular option is laying a piece of aluminum foil on your pan before frying; that way, you can just toss the foil away afterward. However, the smell doesn’t bother me personally, and I don’t like using aluminum foil (in fact, I love the smell of grilled fish!)

I just always have the fan on and also have the window slightly open. I will film a recipe soon on how I clean my kitchen and some of my holy grail items to keep the house smelling nice! 

How to pan-fry asian fish

Here are so delicious and EASY side dishes that pairs well with Grilled Mackeral:

  • Korean Marinated Eggs – Mayak Gyeran (EASY!)
  • Japanese Breakfast – Tamagoyaki & Miso Soup
  • Asian Honey Garlic Potatoes (Only 5 Ingredient!)
  • Two Types of Asian Cucumber Salad (Spicy Garlic, Sweet and Sour)

Ingredients 

  • 2 piece of Mackeral Fillet 
  • 0.5 tsp of Salt 
  • 0.5 tsp of Black Pepper 
  • 2 tbsp of Grated Daikon 
  • 1 Lemon Wedge 
  • 1 tsp of White Pepper 
  1. Lightly cut criss-cross cuts on the Mackeral 
  2. Salt and Pepper on both sides
  3. In a pan, drizzle in oil and turn the heat up to medium-high. Add in the mackerel skin side facing down. Pan fry for 6 minutes and flip and cook for another 4 minutes 
  4. Serve with grated daikon, 1 tsp of white pepper, and 1 lemon wedge

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
