Maple-Soy-Glazed Mackerel Fillets with Avocado image

Categories     Fish     Bake     Quick & Easy     Vinegar     Soy Sauce     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup dry Sherry
1/2 cup dark amber or Grade B maple syrup
1 large firm-ripe California avocado
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 (7- to 8-oz) Spanish mackerel fillets with skin (about 1/2 inch thick)
Accompaniments: rice; lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Briskly simmer vinegar, soy sauce, Sherry, and maple syrup in a 9- to 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat until reduced to about 1/3 cup, 20 to 25 minutes. Keep warm.
  • Prepare avocado while sauce reduces:
  • Quarter avocado lengthwise, then pit and peel. Cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices, then gently toss together with lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Glaze and bake fish:
  • Preheat broiler. Line a large (15- by 10-inch) shallow baking pan with foil. 3Reserve about one fourth of glaze in a small bowl.
  • Arrange fillets, skin sides down, in 1 layer in baking pan. Spoon about one third of remaining glaze over fillet, then spread with back of spoon to coat evenly.
  • Broil fish 5 to 6 inches from heat, without turning, 2 minutes. Remove pan from broiler and coat with another layer of glaze, then broil 2 minutes more. Remove fillets from broiler and apply a third coat of glaze, then broil 1 minute more (for a total of 5 minutes). Remove from broiler and, with a clean spoon, apply reserved glaze. (Reserved glaze will not have touched uncooked fish.)
  • Divide avocado salad among 4 plates, then serve fish alongside it.

MACKEREL FILLETS SIMMERED IN SOY SAUCE



Mackerel Fillets Simmered in Soy Sauce image

Many Japanese cooks treasure dark, oily, full-flavored fish and treat it with a simple dose of powerful seasonings and a simple cooking technique that might be called "pan-steaming." If you think you don't like mackerel, try it this way; it may change your mind. Serve this with short-grain white rice (page 507).

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup sake or dry sherry
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons rice or white wine vinegar
5 or 6 thin slices peeled fresh ginger
3 or 4 garlic cloves, crushed
4 mackerel fillets, about 1 pound total, skin on
Finely grated peeled fresh ginger or lemon zest for garnish

Steps:

  • In a 12-inch skillet with a lid, mix together all the ingredients except the fish and garnish. Add 1/2 cup water, bring to a boil, and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, uncovered.
  • Add the fish, skin side down, cover, and simmer until the fish is cooked through (the smallest fillet should just flake when prodded with a fork or knife, and the fish should all be opaque), 7 to 10 minutes. Spoon a fillet and some sauce onto a mound of white rice; garnish and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh or frozen mackerel fillets that are firm and have no signs of freezer burn.
  • If using frozen fillets, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water.
  • Pat the fillets dry with paper towels before cooking to remove excess moisture.
  • Use a large skillet or saucepan that can accommodate the fillets in a single layer.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat before adding the fillets.
  • Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and flaky.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan, or the fillets will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the mackerel fillets immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

This recipe for mackerel fillets simmered in soy sauce is a delicious and easy way to prepare this healthy fish. The fillets are cooked until tender and flaky and then coated in a flavorful soy sauce-based sauce. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, vegetables, or noodles.
