Saba fish is one of the popular seafood dishes served in Japanese restaurants. Saba fish is also called Mackerel. Saba fish are great for grilling or pan-frying as they have a good amount of fat content. Today I am preparing a lunch box for my kids and would like to share how fast and easy it is to make this pan-fry fish at home.

*Pan fry Saba Fish* Heat up the pan with 1 tbsp of EVOO, place fillets skin side down and pan fry for 3-4 minutes and turn over fry another 3-4 minutes. In between, add some shredded ginger to eliminate its fishy odor. After 10 minutes, remove the fish from heat and set it aside for serving

Add broccoli florets and cook until bright green in color and crisp-tender and it takes about 1-2 minutes. Then transfer the broccoli out from the pan and ready to serve with sesame dressing.
