For the Mackerel Fillets: Heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the fillets skin-side down in the pan and allow it to cook as the skin turns golden and crisp, this will take about 3 minutes. Turn over and cook for 30 seconds before taking out the pan and squeezing over the lemon juice. Season lightly with salt to taste.
