1. Lay out the fillets on a flat tray and squeeze lemon juice on them. Season well with pepper and scrape lemon zest over the fillets. Just before cooking sprinkle a little olive oil over the fish.


2. Place the tray on a pre-heated BBQ and close the lid. The fillets will take about 5 minutes to cook. Cooking on the BBQ adds a great smokey flavour to the fish. If you do not have a BBQ then it works just as well under the grill.

3. Serve with your favourite salad and a spoonful of horseradish which works really well with Mackerel.
What could be simpler than that?

The Baron de Ley winery was founded by a prestigious group of Rioja professionals in 1985. They were quite unique in their approach as they modelled the winery on a Medoc chateaux, which was a pioneering move at that time for producers in the Denominacion de Origen Calificada Rioja. This wine is aged in new oak casks for 20 months prior to resting in the bottle for 2 years before release. It has definite claret qualities; the nose is layered with ripe cherry, toasty oak and a touch of cigar box. Lively, ripe, red fruit with dried tobacco and nutty vanilla overtones, round tannins with an expressive woody finish. Rioja wine can be excellent value for money and has terrific cellaring potential. Buy this wine if you like: Well rounded reds, with soft fruit and toasty character, easy drinking for upfront pleasure.
