Grilled mackerel with spices is a dish that embodies the richness of flavors and aromas of European cuisine. Mackerel, known for its tender and fatty meat, takes on a special character thanks to a blend of spices: ginger, cumin, curry, coriander, and Provençal herbs. Each spice highlights the unique taste of the fish, creating a harmonious combination of spiciness and depth. Grilled to a golden crust, it retains its juiciness while a light smoky aroma makes it even more appetizing. This dish pairs perfectly with fluffy rice or fresh green salad, creating a balanced and rich lunch. Grilled mackerel is an excellent choice for lovers of vibrant flavors and simple yet refined dishes.
