Mustard Broil Mackerel

Submitted by Alia55

"This is very yummy and haws a great flavour. I tend to use dijon mustard just to give it an extra boost. Also, I find fresh lemon juice has the best flavor. If you do not have mackerel, you can use any white fish in it's place."

We enjoyed this recipe. It's quite mild-flavoured but but the fish was beautifully moist and easily cooked. Ppersonally I think it needed more mustard...we used spicy brown. It would be great for people recuperating from an illness who can't handle strong flavours. Thanks Alia!

I am sorry I did not enjoy this at all. I found it completly tasteless. Perhaps I needed to add more mustard or butter or salt and pepper. I was quite disappointed with this one.
