Saba Fish Recipe

Directions

  • First, coat the fish thoroughly with sake.
  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel. Then, transfer the fish to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle salt on both sides of the fish and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 218ºC with a rack placed in the middle.
  • Before cooking, make sure to pat dry any excess moisture from the fish.
  • Place the fish skin side down and bake until the flesh is golden brown. This will take around 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the grilled mackerel with grated daikon and a lemon wedge. Enjoy your fish with soy sauce and warm rice!

Fast and Easy Saba Fish Recipe

Our saba fish recipe brings out the inherent rich flavours of mackerel with simple seasoning. If you don’t have an oven at home, simply fry your fish skin side down at medium high for a few minutes, or until fully cooked on both sides. While good on its own, this saba fish recipe is extra delicious when paired with warm rice and soups, such as miso soup and clear clam soup.
