Ttukdak Hyung's Seasoned Grilled Mackerel

An air-fried mackerel fillet is first par-cooked, then generously coated with a spicy and savory homemade sauce based on gochujang and doenjang, and baked again to create a delicious side dish.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Including a small amount of doenjang (for stew) along with gochujang in the sauce helps suppress any residual fishy taste and brings out the deep, hearty flavor characteristic of Korean braised dishes.
  • The finished seasoned grilled mackerel is delicious on its own, but it is also fantastic when served over rice with a pour of cool, slightly bitter bottled green tea (like ochazuke) for a perfect combination.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make grilled or braised fish at home but hesitate because of splattering oil and fishy smoke spreading from the gas stove.
  • Those who are tired of simple soy sauce or salt grilled mackerel and want a spicy, savory, and appetizing fish side dish.
