Method

  • step 1

    Make the mojo by whisking all the ingredients except the lime segments together, season well. Add the lime segments just before serving.

  • step 2

    Brush the mackerel with a little oil and season well. Heat the grill to high. Grill the mackerel for 5 minutes skin side up or until the fillets are just cooked through – the skin should be nicely blistered. Mix the leaves and divide between 4 plates, add the orange segments and a fillet to each and then spoon over the mojo.
