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

Follow these three tips and you'll have a scrumptious dish that'll be loved by all.Tip 1. Pour hot water on the fish. It's an extra step, but it helps remove the odor and drains it.Tip 2. Add the fish once the sauce has come to a boil.Tip 3. Simmer in a short time. It avoids the filet from flaking and also prevents from becoming hard.I sliced one mackerel into 2, and cut them half. For 4 servings. Recipe by sachie mama

Before cooking, blanching fish with a strong taste in boiling water removes much of the fishy flavor. And making a cut in the skin of mackerel makes them well-done and prevent the skin from peeling.

I used regular miso for this, but it's also delicious if you use plum miso and reduce the sugar.Step 1: If you're concerned about any fish smell, pour hot water over it.Step 3: Please boil while pouring the miso sauce over it. You can also use a frying pan. Please adjust the soy sauce and miso as desired. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
