Serves 4
Ingredients
8 Mackerel filets
2 C whole Milk
2 tsp Thyme, minced
Salt and Black Pepper
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Lemons, sliced 1/4” thick, seeds removed

- Heat a grill or grill pan to over high heat.
- Sprinkle a little more salt on the fish, brush with olive oil and grill 2-3 minutes, then carefully turn and cook an additional 2-3 minutes, or until firm to the touch and cooked through.
- Remove and keep warm.
- Brush lemon slices with oil and grill a minute or two per side, until charred in a few spots and fragrant.
- Serve fish on a platter alongside the grilled lemons, radishes, salted butter, parsley and crackers.
