Fish

Marinade

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Rinse the saba mackerel fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on both sides of the fillets.

Marinade

  1. 2

    Make the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 3

    Marinate the Fish

    Place the seasoned saba mackerel fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are well-coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Mackerel

    Preheat a grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Remove the fillets from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and has grill marks.

Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the saba mackerel from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve warm with rice or steamed vegetables.
