について Saba Shioyaki Teishoku
Salt-grilled mackerel set — classic Japanese lunch with rice and miso
How to Make Saba Shioyaki Teishoku (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Saba Shioyaki Teishoku is a beloved Japanese set meal featuring perfectly grilled mackerel seasoned simply with salt, accompanied by rice, miso soup, and classic side dishes. This teishoku (set meal) represents the essence of Japanese home cooking—celebrating the natural umami flavors of fresh, seasonal ingredients while emphasizing balance and presentation. Originating from Japan’s coastal regions, Saba Shioyaki’s appeal lies in the harmony of its salty, crispy skin and juicy, tender flesh, which is enhanced by a squeeze of sudachi or lemon. As a centerpiece for a Japanese lunch, Saba Shioyaki is both nourishing and visually appealing, typically served with steaming gohan (rice), miso shiru (miso soup), tsukemono (pickles), and a refreshing salad. The simplicity of this dish allows the deep flavors of the mackerel to shine, making it a popular choice in both homes and traditional Japanese restaurants. Its focus on seasonal ingredients and mindful eating reflects the Japanese philosophy of ‘ichiju-sansai’—one soup and three sides—resulting in a well-rounded and satisfying meal.

作り方
- 1
Rinse the saba (mackerel) fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. With a sharp knife, make a few shallow diagonal cuts in the skin to prevent curling during grilling.
3 minutes
Ensure fillets are dry for crispier skin.
- 2
Sprinkle sea salt evenly on both sides of the fillets. Let them rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture and enhance flavor.
10 minutes
This step intensifies umami and removes fishy odor.
- 3
Preheat your grill or fish broiler on medium-high. Place the saba fillets skin-side up on a lined grill rack. Grill for 7–8 minutes, then flip and cook the flesh side for another 5–7 minutes until golden and cooked through.
15 minutes
Avoid overcooking to keep the fish moist inside.

While grilling, prepare the miso soup. Bring dashi stock to a gentle simmer, add tofu and wakame, then dissolve miso paste in a small amount of hot dashi before adding it back to the pot. Warm through without boiling.
5 minutes
Don't boil miso to preserve its probiotics and flavor.
