Since we like having miso soup with dinner, having 'miso-simmered mackerel' would mean doubling up on the miso, so I do the mackerel with ginger and soy sauce instead. I've been making this for a long time.

Mackerel simmered in miso is popular, but this is easier to make. You don't have to worry about it burning. For 4 servings. Recipe by Mamemame

Ingredients

4 servings
  1. 1fish's worth Mackerel filets
  2. 20 gramsGinger
  3. [A]
  4. 1bit less than 150 ml ・ Water
  5. 60 ml・ Sake
  6. 4 tbspSoy sauce
  7. 2 tbspMirin
  8. 1 1/2 tbspSugar
  9. 1Green onions (thin type)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut each filet in half to end up with 4 pieces. Make crisscross cuts on both sides. Slice the ginger thinly.

  2. 2

    Put the [A] ingredients in a pan and bring to a boil. Put in the mackerel filets skin side up. Add the sliced ginger. Spoon the cooking liquid over the mackerel and put in a small lid that sits directly on the simmering food (otoshibuta).

  3. 3

    You can make a one-use otoshibuta by cutting out a round piece of kitchen parchment paper and placing it on top of the food. Simmer over medium heat until the cooking liquid has reduced to about 1/3. Spoon the liquid over the fish about 4 times while it simmered to make it nice and shiny.

  4. 4

    Add the uncut green onion at the end and replace the lid until the green onion softens in the residual heat.

  5. 5

    Transfer the mackerel to serving plates. Serve the wilted green onion coated with sauce alongside the mackerel, wrapped into a spiral.

  6. 6

    This is the whole meal by the way. I served the mackerel with tonjiru (hearty pork miso soup).
