I remember I have to take pictures to keep my blog alive. The result? Half baked pictures!! Look at this one below. I only remembered that I had to take pictures after I started grilling the other three pieces of Saba fish! *Sigh* Luckily there was one piece left because the pan couldn't accommodate all four pieces.
I love, love Saba fish because it is so delicious when grilled properly. It is juicy and the mackerel literally melts in the mouth. Mmmmm......Very often in the Japanese restaurants, they serve Saba Shioyaki (salt grilled Mackerel). I love this very much too, especially when grilled to perfection and dipped in wasabi, shoyu and served with hot Japanese rice.
I like a variation sometimes, and Saba no Teriyaki is delicious. It is very easy, here's the recipe:
1 whole mackerel - filleted to four pieces
Marinate:
1/4 Cup soy sauce
1/4 Cup mirin
1 T sugar
1/2 T grated fresh ginger root, pounded and juice squeezed out
Method:
Wash and pat dry Mackerel with paper towel and soak in marinate.
Leave to marinate for at least one hour (I leave it in the fridge for half a day)
Broil over stove or oven and baste occasionally while broiling.
Serve with Lemon and grated daikon.
You can use Salmon, Yellowtail or Tuna for more variation.
The picture below shows you the three pieces of Mackerel being broiled!
Ahemm....yours truly was in such a hurry to serve dinner to the family that the final picture was completely FORGOTTEN!!!Anyway it was delicious and it looked exactly like a juicy piece of grilled fish.....lol!!
