Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Even without adding sugar, the abundant green onion and garlic release a clean, refreshing sweetness as they cook.
  • Since Spanish mackerel has thick, firm flesh, deep scoring on both sides is essential for heat to penetrate quickly and cook the inside thoroughly.
  • If you have leftover vegetables or jeon (pan-fried items) in the fridge, lay them under the Spanish mackerel and steam together for a wonderful accompaniment.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a clean and spicy fish main dish instead of heavy and salty braised fish.
  • Those who want to try a unique steamed/oven fish dish using leftover red pepper powder and green onion.
