Jung Ho-young's Mackerel Sandwich

Cooking tips 💡

• When filleting the mackerel, avoid repeatedly passing the knife through the flesh to prevent tearing or crushing the meat; instead, make smooth, single passes.
• Adjust the amount of salt according to the thickness of each section to ensure even seasoning throughout.
• Before assembling the sandwich, lightly charring the skin side of the mackerel with a torch (aburi) enhances flavor with a subtle smokiness and rich umami.
• To prevent sogginess, toast the bread until the surface is crisp so it maintains a satisfying texture when paired with the mackerel.
