Heat the vegetable oil in a wok and briefly stir-fry the lemongrass, onions, chilli, and ginger.

Add the lime juice mixture, coriander, and basil to the wok.

Grill the mackerel fillets skin-side down until the flesh is opaque.

Spoon the aromatic topping onto the fish and grill for 5 more minutes until browned.

Serve the mackerel immediately.
