Step 1Preparation:
Rinse the mackerel under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with black pepper. Place sprigs of rosemary and thyme on each fillet and top with 1–2 lemon slices. -
Step 2Preparation:
Peel and finely grate or chop the ginger. In a small bowl, mix the Kikkoman Soy Sauce, Kikkoman Mirin, ginger, Kikkoman Sesame Oil, and olive oil until smooth. Pour the sauce over the mackerel. Reheat the oven to 190 °C. Place the fish in an ovenproof dish and roast for 10–12 minutes, until the mackerel is white and flakes easily when pressed with a fork.
Tip: You can use any other white fish, such as gilthead bream (dorade) or halibut, instead of mackerel.
