Savor the rich flavors of grilled mackerel marinated in teriyaki sauce for an easy and delicious dinner option tonight!

1

Prepare the teriyaki sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of mirin, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and the finely grated ginger clove. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

2

While the sauce simmers, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

3

Once the grill is hot, season the mackerel pieces with a little salt on both sides.

4

Place the mackerel on the grill skin-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, then brush a generous amount of the teriyaki sauce over the top.

5

Carefully flip the mackerel and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, brushing with more sauce. The fish should be cooked through and have grill marks.

6

Remove the mackerel from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

7

To serve, chop the green onion into small pieces. Sprinkle the chopped green onion and sesame seeds on top of the mackerel. Serve with the remaining teriyaki sauce on the side.

• Add a layer of grilled vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra flavor and nutrition.
• Try using salmon or another fish for a different twist on the classic dish.
• Marinate the mackerel overnight for even deeper flavor absorption.

• Make sure to keep an eye on the fish while it’s grilling to avoid burning.
• For extra crispy skin, start grilling on high heat and reduce it to medium after flipping.
• Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar in the teriyaki sauce.
