• •1 tablespoon lime juice
• •3 cloves garlic, minced
• •1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• •1 teaspoon chili powder
• •1/2 teaspoon salt

• •2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine kecap manis, vegetable oil, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

2. 2

   Place the mackerel fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

4. 4

   Remove the mackerel from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

5. 5

   During the last minute of grilling, sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top of the mackerel for added flavor.

6. 6

   Serve hot with steamed rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
