Recipe courtesy of Florida Agriculture Bureau of Seafood and Aquaculture.

Recipe Ingredients:

4 (6 to 8 ounces each) mackerel steaks
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
1/4 stick unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Cooking Directions:

1. Season mackerel steaks lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Preheat outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium high heat. Cook fish evenly on both sides until completely done throughout.
3. Preheat a medium sized sauté pan on a grill or on a burner inside. Add butter to pan to melt. Add cherry tomatoes, parsley and orange zest. Cook briefly, just enough to wilt the tomatoes and combine flavors. Taste tomato mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Serve mackerel steaks topped with the tomato mixture.

Makes 4 servings.
