Essential Ingredients- 1/4 Spanish mackerel (cleaned)
- Pinch of salt (for seasoning)
- Pinch of black pepper (for seasoning)
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
Sauce Ingredients- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp yuzu marmalade
- 2 Tbsp cooking wine (like mirin)
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
Optional Ingredients (for color and extra flavor)- 1/2 red chili pepper (thinly sliced)
- 2 green chili peppers (thinly sliced)
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp yuzu marmalade
- 2 Tbsp cooking wine (like mirin)
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
Optional Ingredients (for color and extra flavor)- 1/2 red chili pepper (thinly sliced)
- 2 green chili peppers (thinly sliced)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gently rinse the Spanish mackerel under running water and thoroughly pat it dry with paper towels. Then, season both sides of the fish evenly with salt and black pepper. This initial seasoning helps to remove any fishy odor and enhances the overall flavor. Let it marinate for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Coat the seasoned Spanish mackerel evenly with all-purpose flour. This flour coating will help prevent the fish from breaking apart during cooking and will ensure a crispy, golden-brown exterior when grilled. Gently shake off any excess flour.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, yuzu marmalade, cooking wine, and minced garlic. Whisk them together with a spoon to create a delicious yuzu marmalade sauce. The sweetness and tanginess of the yuzu, combined with the savory soy sauce and pungent garlic, will create a wonderfully aromatic glaze for the fish.
Step 4
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a preheated pan over medium heat. Carefully place the floured Spanish mackerel into the hot pan. Sear the skin side until it’s golden brown and crisp, then flip and cook the other side until equally golden brown. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through. Be sure to manage the heat to prevent burning.
Step 5
Once the Spanish mackerel is nicely browned, pour the prepared yuzu marmalade sauce over the fish in the pan. Add the sliced red and green chili peppers. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the fish beautifully. Plate the aromatic grilled Spanish mackerel with yuzu marmalade for a visually appealing and incredibly flavorful dish!
