ASIAN INSPIRED GLAZED MACKEREL

The Fish Bish

A little spicy, a little sweet and oh so shareable!

Shared plates are a WIN in my book. Family style meals are the way forward if you are looking for less dishes, less plating and more fun. This mackerel dish is meant to be passed around the table or put on a big fancy serving tray in the middle of a crowd so everyone can pick as they please. I love these types of meals for holidays as it is an easy way to fit an array of dishes on the table and let everyone have a bite of each and satisfy their taste buds!

Its better together

This Asian inspired mackerel is marinated in a sweet and spicy sauce before it is placed in the oven, low and slow. We're leaving it in the oven long enough to take some moisture out of the fish so it is easily handled in the center of the table and not falling apart when your guests go in for a bite. It's beautifully plated with sesame seeds and chives and served with sushi rice on the side.


Asian inspired glazed mackerel

(Serves 4)


INGREDIENTS

  • 2 large mackerel fillets, skin on

  • 1 cup sushi rice

  • Chopped chives and white sesame seeds for garnish

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup tamari

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 2 tbsps chili sesame oil

  • 1 tsp miso paste

  • 1 tsp garlic


Method


  1. Whisk together the marinade in a shallow container with a lid. Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel and place the fillets in the Marinade and refrigerate for at least an hour or at most, over night. Use a dish just wide enough to place the fillets next to one another and have have a couple inches of room on top. If the fillets are not covered completely when you place them in the marinade, you'll have to either make a double batch of marinade or gently shake the container every ten minutes or so while they chill in the refrigerator.

  2. Heat the oven to 200 degrees F. Take the fish out of the refrigerator and place on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake the fish for 30 minutes, basting every five minutes with the left over marinade. sprinkle with seseme seeds and chopped chives. Serve as a shared plate in the center of the table and give each guest their own small bowl of sushi rice and chopsticks so they may pick the amount of fish they would like to put with their rice.

  3. While the fish is baking, cook the sushi rice as directed on the container and keep warm until ready to serve.

  4. Take the fillets out of the oven and plate them on a serving tray with garnishes.
