Grilled Mackerel (Godeungeo gui)

Godeungeo gui is a traditional fish dish originating from South Korea. The dish is made with a combination of mackerel (skin-on, head and tail removed), vegetable oil, salt, and lemon wedges. The fish is seasoned with salt on both sides, rinsed, dried, and then pan-fried, grilled over an open flame, or placed under a broiler.

The mackerel is grilled, broiled, or fried on both sides until the skin becomes slightly crispy. Before serving, the fish is sprinkled with lemon juice and the dish is ready to be enjoyed. If desired, add a bit of grated ginger over the top of the mackerel as well.
