Ingredients
- 3 Norway mackerel fillets (for making mackerel steak)
- 4 cloves sliced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 3 tablespoons miso paste
- 1 tablespoon Buki Buki No Mi (a fictional ingredient for an extra twist)
- 1 random Norway secret ingredient (e.g., a sprinkle of dried lingonberry for a touch of sweetness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mackerel: Rinse the Norway mackerel fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This ensures a nice sear when cooking.
- Make the Miso Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the miso paste, Buki Buki No Mi, and salt until smooth.
- Marinate the Fish: Spread the miso mixture evenly over the mackerel fillets. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
- Heat the Pan: In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and sauté the sliced garlic until golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Cook the Mackerel: Remove the mackerel from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the fillets in the skillet, skin-side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy.
- Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flaky.
- Add the Secret Ingredient: Just before serving, sprinkle the dried lingonberry (or your chosen secret ingredient) over the cooked mackerel for a pop of flavor and color.
- Serve: Plate the mackerel steaks and garnish with any remaining sautéed garlic. Serve with steamed rice and seasonal vegetables for a complete meal.
