  • 2 bags 600g Norway Mackerel

  • 2 sticks Red carrots
  • ½ lemon
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp Steam fish soy sauce seasoned soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Mirin

Instructions
 

Oven Roasted Veggies

  • Cut the end of asparagus and rinse thoroughly.
  • After peeling off the skin of the carrot, cut the carrots longitude style.
  • Cut both lemon and garlic into pieces.
  • Put asparagus and carrots in the oven plate and drizzle 1 tbsp oil , black pepper and salt evenly
  • Turn on the oven 350 degrees (Celcius), cook for 20-25 min.

Grilled Mackerel

  • First, we have to wash the mackerel thoroughly. Use a knife to take away the black membrane inside. Use the paper towel to dry it. In order for the sauce to sink into the mackerel, make three cuts on top using a knife
  • Pour 1 tbsp oil in a pan. Put the garlic in.
  • Turn on slow heat until the garlic aroma flavours come out. Put aside the garlic
  • Turn to medium heat and put the mackerel onto wok.
  • Sprinkle black pepper, fry both sides of the fish and add lemon.
  • When the mackerel is golden brown, then add soy sauce, mirin and garlic.
  • Turn off the heat and place the fish on the plate.
  • Lastly, pour all the sauce from the wok on the fish.

Notes

Notes:
  1. Grilling the fish will cause excess oil therefore, you can pour off some oil during that time.
  2. Using Mirin will cause your food to burn easily. Please turn off the heat after putting in the mirin.
  3. Mackerel fish has its own taste. Using steam soy sauce will enhance the flavours of the actual fish rather than relying on the soy sauce. Of course you are welcome to use regular soy sauce.
