Grilled Mackerel with Thai Spicy Green Dipping Sauce
Cooking mackerel is very easy, you barely have to do anything. Just follow my very simple instruction below or you can print this printable version of the recipe.
- • 2 clean Mackerel
- • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- • foil paper
!Thai Spicy Green Dipping Sauce!- • 3 Thai chilies
- • 2 garlic gloves
- • ½ teaspoon Stevia
- • 5 stems chopped Cilantro
- • 1 tablespoon of Fish sauce
- • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- • 1 limes juices ( I like it sour.)
- • 2 sliced ginger, cut them in small pieces. (Optional, if you're not a fan of the smell of fish sauce, the aroma of ginger will solve the problem for you.)
- Rub the cleaned mackerel with low sodium soy sauce then wrap each mackerel in a foil paper. Make sure you wrap them well, so the soy sauce doesn't leak out. Grilling a mackerel doesn't take too long, it takes about 10 - 15 minutes under high heat.
- While we're waiting for the mackerel to be cooked, let's prepare the sauce. Put chilies, garlic, chopped cilantro, and ginger in a mortar and pound them really good with a pestle. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can use a blender instead and make sure you mix the ingredients real good. Then add sugar, fish sauce, and lime juices with all the ingredients that you just blended. Taste the sauce, you can add more sweeten, chilies, fish sauce, or lime juices as you decide. For more nutrition, you can steam some broccoli and/ or carrots plus steamed brown rice on the side.

What is two sliced ginger? Two cuts of actual ginger? Is that from a root peice or Tsb or tsp be specific please. I ask because ginger comes in weird shapes.

Two cuts from the ginger root, the cuts that I used was about 2 inches long for each. Try to use the young ginger as possible, I personally don't like to use the old ginger in the sauce because it has a tougher texture and harder to chew. 🙂
