Saba Grill with Ponzu Sauce

Ingredients

• A saba (mackerel) fillet
• A pinch of salt
• 5cm leek
• 2 tablespoons ponzu
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 5cm radish

Instructions

1. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on mackerel fillet and let it sit for 10 minutes. Pat dry with paper towel.
2. Grill the mackerel in a pan or a grill oven until cooked. If you are using a pan, cover the pan with the lid so that it cooks faster.
3. Finely chop the leek, add ponzu and sugar, cover loosely and microwave on medium high for a minute.
4. Serve the mackerel with grated radish and the microwaved sauce on top.

Notes

• If you don’t have ponzu, you can make homemade ponzu from scratch! Mix 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1.5 tablespoon of soy sauce and 0.5 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
