Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Have your fish monger butterfly-cut your mackerel. Cut off the head and tail, then cut into 2. See part 2 of 2 for another mackerel recipe :)
* Step 2
Rinse, pat dry, and spread a splash of mirin or sake to remove the fishy smell. Pat dry again. If you can soak the fish in mirin for 10mins, that would be ideal, but not necessary.
* Step 3
Gently score the skin in a criss cross pattern. This will prevent curling. Add salt & pepper to both sides.
* Step 4
Combine the flour and curry powder on a plate. Coat fish and shake off any excess flour. I used this korean curry powder:
* Step 5
Light up your pan on a med-high flame until oil is hot. Place fish skin side down. Cook for 2-3 mins until crust is formed. Switch heat to med-low until fish is fully cooked through. Roughly 8 mins, give or take.
* Step 6
Serve w steamed rice and your favorite side dish. Enjoy!
