- 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon salt

Prepare the Fish: Clean the mackerel thoroughly, then rub it with salt and lime juice. Let it marinate for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
-
Make the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the sliced shallots, chopped tomato, and sliced green chilies. Add the sweet soy sauce and mix well to combine all the flavors.
-
Preheat the Grill: Heat your grilling pan (a Happy Call pan works well for this) and brush it with cooking oil to prevent sticking.

Grill the Fish: Place the marinated mackerel on the grill. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even grilling on both sides.
