When it comes to grilled fish, nothing beats the flavorful, juicy goodness of Saba (Japanese mackerel). Every time we dine at Japanese restaurants, grilled saba and salmon are a must-order for my family. However, instead of splurging on restaurant prices, I’ve recently started air-frying saba at home—and let me tell you, we are hooked!
Restaurant vs. Homemade Grilled Saba
For years, I used to buy grilled saba from our neighborhood Japanese
takeout restaurant at least once a week. But after experimenting with frozen
wild-caught saba from the supermarket, I realized that making it at home is not
only cheaper but also tastier! Even Cass, my picky eater, says that the ones I
air-fry at home are juicier and more flavorful compared to restaurant versions,
which can sometimes be a little dry and tough.
Super Easy Saba Recipe – Just 3
Ingredients!
One of the best things about grilling or air-frying saba at home is how incredibly
easy it is to prepare. Here’s my simple foolproof recipe:
Ingredients:
✔ 1 frozen wild-caught saba fish
(thawed). The ones I usually buy are already halved.
✔ 2 to 3 tbsp Kikkoman teriyaki sauce
✔ Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions:
1️⃣ Marinate the saba fish with teriyaki
sauce and black pepper for about 15 minutes.
2️⃣ Place it in the air fryer and cook at
180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes.
- Cook 10 minutes
on one side.
- Flip and cook
for 5 more minutes on the other side.
3️⃣ Serve immediately with a bowl of steaming rice or salad.
That’s it—super easy, minimal effort, and absolutely delicious!
If you love saba, I highly recommend trying this recipe—you might just
get hooked like us! 😍🐟🔥
