Fish Dish For Lunch & Dinner

At home, our favorite fish are:

1. salmon

2. Japanese horse mackerel

There are various ways of eating salmon in Japan, "raw" as in sashimi, salted salmon in grill, teriyaki salmon, pan fried salmon with butter and soy sauce*, smoked salmon, salmon pickled in miso paste then grilled ... and the list can go on forever :D

For mackerel, our favorite are raw mackerel and sun-dried salted mackerel for grill*.

Vegetables like tomatoes are easy because they need no cooking and are tasty by itself. However, my favorite is to add a little extra to fresh tomatoes, so we won't get bored with the taste. Such as: by sprinkling sugar and grated sesame, or sugar, soy sauce and little sardines.

For cucumbers, we have a special miso paste used specifically for pickling vegetables. Picked vegetables are very good for health.

On the left, eggplants are cooked in dashi, soy sauce and sugar... its soft texture came from the tasty liquid which tastes sweet and rich ... both adult and children love it!

White vegetables, curled like a little rose, is pickled daikon (radish).
