TERIAKI MACKEREL WITH CUCUMBER SALAD

You can buy teriaki marinade ready made. Then again, making your own takes just five minutes. Combine 7 tablespoons sake, 7 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sugar in a small saucepan and heat until the sugar has dissolved. I then marinated these thick fillets of mackerel in a few tablespoons of teriaki marinade before sautéing in grapeseed oil. I macerated fine slices of Lebanese cucumber in a mix of sushi vinegar and sugar for 15 minutes and steamed some jasmine rice.
