Cooking StepsHow to cook Pan-Seared Mackerel with Calamansi step by step

Step 1 Detail

Thaw the mackerel in a water bath, then pat both sides dry with paper towels.
Step 2 Detail

Evenly rub 7g of salt over both sides of the fish, then sprinkle black pepper on both sides. Marinate for about 1 hour.
Step 3 Detail

Remove the stir paddle from the smart wok. Rub the bottom of the wok with ginger slices where the fish tends to stick. Add enough oil to cover the bottom, place the fish in skin-side up, set to “stir-fry” mode for the default 4 minutes, and start cooking.
Step 4 Detail

After the timer beeps, wait 10 seconds before opening the lid (to prevent oil splatter). Flip each fillet and cook for another 4 minutes.
Step 5 Detail

While the fish cooks, wash the 7 calamansi and cut each in half. When the timer beeps again, wait 10 seconds before opening the lid. Transfer the fish to a plate, squeeze calamansi juice over it, and serve.
