I've been making this dish for a while now.

You can eliminate any fishy flavor by boiling the sauce in the beginning.
Here, I used readymade ground ginger from a tube, but it's also good with fresh sliced ginger. Recipe by Kyansama

Steps

1

Chop the leek finely.
2

Make crisscross cuts into the mackerel, skin-side up.
3

Add all the ☆ ingredients in a pot and make them boil.
4

Align mackerel with its skin facing upwards. Cover with a small lid or a piece of kitchen paper directly on top of the simmering food. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
5

Add miso and blend well. It's good to tilt the pot and blend the miso with lots of soup. Put the lid or kitchen paper back on and continue simmering for about 10 minutes over low heat.
6

Take the lid or paper off and cook until your preferred richness of the sauce.
7

Top with the leek and it's done.
