• Place the saba fish carefully, make the flame lower but not on low flame. Wait for 2 minutes before you flip them. In the meantime, while we are waiting, tilt the pan and scoop melted butter with a spoon then pour it on the saba fish surface. This technic is the same when I cook my salmon. If you are following Ichi's Fusion Recipes, you would recall this specific technic.

• After flipping the saba, give it a few seconds before taking them off from the pan. Turn off the stove
• Tips: I have never turned my stove on medium flame or high flame when making pan-fry fish. The reason is that I want to make my fish fully cooked both outside and inside

Prepare the meal:

• And an orange! Do not forget to eat fruit!😉

That's it? YES! it is easy, right? The taste is exquisite! 🤩😍 We love this menu. The key is the sauce choice that I am used to cooking my fish. I have always loved Japanese sauce (product of Japan; not Japanese sauce product others country) because one of the things that I admire about it is that this particular sauce is able to cover the scent of the fish. As you know, I can't eat fish if the fishy smell is easy to identify. Directly, I feel nausea even before putting the fish dish into my mouth.
