Mix the egg yolk with vinegar to prepare a yolk-vinegar sauce that is both savory and tangy.
Prepare a mackerel fillet cured with salt, spices, and herbs to resemble raw ham.
To reduce the fishy smell and raw flavor of the mackerel, carefully trim away the bloodline with a knife.
Lightly toast the prepared bread slices in a toaster or on a pan according to your preference.
Sear the skin side of the mackerel with a torch to add visual appeal and a fragrant smoky flavor.
Evenly spread the prepared yolk-vinegar sauce on the toasted side of the bread.
Place the torch-seared mackerel ham on top of the sauce and cover with the remaining bread slice to complete the sandwich.

Mix egg yolk and vinegar to make the sauce, and remove the bloodline from the mackerel.
Sear the mackerel skin with a torch until golden brown to impart a smoky flavor.
Spread sauce on bread, add mackerel, and complete the sandwich.

Cooking tips

Torching the mackerel skin reduces the visual aversion to raw fish and creates a more appetizing color as the salt and sugar from the curing process react.
If you are sensitive to the raw smell, trimming the bloodline of the blue-backed fish can result in a much cleaner taste.
The yolk-vinegar sauce uses the savory richness of the yolk and the acidity of the vinegar to smoothly balance the richness of the mackerel.
