Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking: 15 minutes

Total: 30 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

4 mackerel fillets
4 cups cooked Japanese short-grain rice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons sake
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 nori sheet, cut into small strips
Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and grated ginger to make the marinade.
Place the mackerel fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Remove the mackerel from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and cook the fillets for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Meanwhile, heat the reserved marinade in a small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
To assemble the rice bowls, divide cooked rice among 4 bowls. Top with grilled mackerel fillets, drizzle with the thickened marinade, and garnish with green onions, nori strips, and sesame seeds.
Serve hot and enjoy!
