Oriental grilled mackerel

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 1 mackerel(s), cleaned and dried ready for cooking
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, large, unpeeled, more to taste
• 8 leaves mint, fresh, large leaves or more smaller ones
• 2 bay leaves, fresh
• 2 tbsp cumin seeds
• 2 tbsp fennel seeds
• 1 tbsp pepper, e.g. Tellicherry or Tasmanian mountain pepper, coarsely ground
• 4 slices of lime
• 3 tbsp coarse sea salt
• aluminum foil

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

Remove the mackerel’s tail. Spread out the aluminum foil in two layers, long enough to wrap the mackerel later. Spread half of the ingredients (except the garlic cloves) in the center of the aluminum foil as a bed for the mackerel. Place the mackerel on top and cover with the other half of the ingredients. Place the garlic in front of and behind the mackerel. Wrap everything as tightly as possible (folding several times) in the aluminum foil. Cook for about 30 minutes next to the embers (indirectly) on the grill with the lid closed (without the lid, the cooking time will be correspondingly longer). Turn halfway through. Serve in the aluminum foil.
