Saba Miso-ni (Japanese Simmered Mackerel in Miso)
A traditional Japanese home‑cooked dish of mackerel gently simmered in a sweet‑savory miso‑ginger broth. The technique of blanching the fish removes the strong fishy odor, while a quick skin‑fry gives a pleasant crispness before the long, gentle simmer that infuses the flesh with umami. Served with a sprinkle of green onion, this healthy omega‑3 rich meal is perfect for a comforting dinner.

Critical Success Points
- • Blanching the fish with hot then cold water to eliminate the strong fishy odor.
- • Frying the skin just enough to crisp without burning, preserving the delicate flesh.
- • Maintaining a low, gentle simmer for the full 55 minutes so the fish absorbs the miso‑ginger flavor without falling apart.
Safety Warnings
- • Hot oil can cause burns – keep a lid nearby.
- • Handle boiling water with care to avoid scalds.
- • Use tongs or a spatula when moving the fish to prevent splashing.
