What you need:

• 2 pieces Mackerel fillets
• 4 Tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp Mirin
• 1 Tbsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Ginger, grated
• 1 tsp Oil (Rice bran)
• Sesame seeds to garnish

How to put this together:

• Score fish fillets, skin side, to help the cooking process
• In a bowl, mix together soy sauce + mirin + sugar + grated ginger
• Using a flat-based pan, heat oil on medium heat. Add sauce mixture. Mix well.
• Add fish fillets, skin side down. Spoon the sauce from the pan over the fish.
• Keep cooking until the skin look done, 5-7 mins. Occasionally spoon more sauce over the fish.
