Mackerel Simmered in Miso

Mackerel simmered in Miso and sesame seeds on top

Pouring boiling water over the mackerel fillet before cooking helps to remove some of its strong smell. If the bones are removed well, this slightly sweet dish is great for kids. Those who want a stronger flavor should allow more water to evaporate before serving. The fish keeps moist by cooking it slowly.
