Kushi Saba

Kushi Saba is a delightful Japanese dish featuring grilled mackerel skewers marinated in a savory-sweet glaze, served with a side of fresh vegetables. This gluten-free supper is not only flavorful but also packed with nutrients, making it a wholesome meal option.

Ingredients

• Mackerel fillets - 300 grams
• Soy sauce (gluten-free) - 2 tablespoons
• Mirin - 1 tablespoon
• Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic (minced) - 1 clove
• Ginger (grated) - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions (sliced) - 2 stalks
• Bell pepper (sliced) - 1 medium
• Zucchini (sliced) - 1 small
• Lemon wedges - for serving

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix together the gluten-free soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
2. Cut the mackerel fillets into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the fish is marinating, prepare the vegetables by slicing the bell pepper and zucchini into thick strips.
4. Soak wooden skewers in water for about 10 minutes to prevent burning.
5. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
6. Once the mackerel has marinated, thread the fish pieces onto the soaked skewers, alternating with slices of bell pepper and zucchini.
7. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and has grill marks.
8. Serve the Kushi Saba skewers hot, garnished with sliced green onions and lemon wedges on the side.
