A simple 3-minute side dish made by mixing tender, non-fried anchovies with scallions in a savory sauce using only the microwave to eliminate fishy odor—no cooking required.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Microwaving anchovies for 30 seconds before mixing removes both moisture and their characteristic fishy odor effectively.
  • Adding 1 tablespoon of fresh water to the dressing helps soften dry, hard anchovies so they absorb the marinade and become tender and juicy.
  • Never mix anchovies directly into the dressing first—this can make them too salty. Always marinate the scallions first, then gently fold in the anchovies for perfectly balanced seasoning.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a moist, non-crunchy anchovy side dish that older family members can enjoy easily.
  • People who want to quickly prepare a side dish in just 5 minutes without using any heat source or pan.
  • Individuals looking to use up dried anchovies stored in the freezer in a delicious and creative way.
