«Saba sando» – Mackerel sandwich in Japanese style

Mackerel has become Japan's healthy alternative to sausage in bread. When hunger strikes, Japanese people often stop by a 7-Eleven convenience store to buy pre-marinated mackerel. For those with a bit more time, they head to a eatery for a mackerel sandwich or «saba sando». All our recipes are sourced fromgodfisk.no

  • Preparation time: 20-30 min
  • Difficulty: Medium

Ingredients

Jamaican BBQ sauce

Method

  • Habanero powder can be reduced or omitted if you dislike spicy sauce.
  • Marinate the mackerel fillets in the BBQ sauce for about 15 minutes.
  • Grate the carrots using a grater. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.
  • You can use any type of bread you like; it doesn't have to be focaccia. Sourdough or baguette are great options. Cut the bread in half. Alternatively, you can make four sandwiches from slices of bread.
  • Grill or cook the marinated mackerel with the skin on, preferably until the skin becomes crispy. Brush with a little extra marinade during grilling/cooking if needed.
  • Feel free to give the bread a quick toast on the grill or in a pan as well.
  • Place the fish and vegetables inside the sandwich and enjoy a taste of Japan.

Good appetite

Yoi shokuyoku!
