Step 1
1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients. If you bought frozen mackerel, it must be defrosted naturally. Leave it at room temperature for 1.5–2 hours. As a last resort, you can place the mackerel near a heated stove burner. However, under no circumstances should you defrost mackerel in a microwave.
