As far as I am concerned, there are three major factors buying fish; Fresh, local and wild caught. If these entire characteristics apply, my family ends up having a nice fishmeal.

So I decided to buy , which is cheap, available and delicious.

INGREDIENTS:

1 Spanish mackerel or 2 fillets

2 cloves of garlic

2 sprigs of thyme

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt/fresh ground pepper to taste.

STEPS:

Season mackerel fillets with salt and fresh ground pepper and 1 clove of sliced garlic, thyme and drizzle with olive oil.

Heat the remaining olive oil, 1 clove of smashed garlic in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Remove the garlic when golden brown and place the fillets in skillet skin side down and cook for about 2 minutes.

Turn fish and cook until skin is golden brown and completely cooked through about 1 minute.

I choose cherry tomatoes and sliced red onions as a side in order not to overwhelm the fish flavor.
