Feel free to cook more fillets, just make sure they occupy one layer on the baking tray.

- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- one small lime (halved) or 2 lemon wedges
Condiment (Serving Suggestion)

Directions:
- Pull out any bones from the mackerel fillet using kitchen tweezers.
- Brush olive oil with a pastry brush over the mackerel skin. Season the fillet with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Line baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleaning. Place mackerel fillets skin side up. Bake the fillets at preheated oven of 200°C (392°F) for about 20 minutes, or until the skin starts to brown & crisp. Serve with lime and a side condiment of grated daikon in a saucer of ponzu sauce.

Can you do a grilled version of saba fish? I don’t have oven. Thanks much.
Sure, I’ll add that to my to-cook list next year.
