How to Make Izakaya Sakura Broiled Saba With Green Onion Sauce

  1. Whisk together 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon sugar in a small bowl to make the sauce. Set aside.
  2. Preheat your broiler.
  3. Cut one saba fillet (approximately 6 ounces) into three equal pieces.
  4. Sprinkle each saba piece lightly with salt on both sides.
  5. Place saba pieces on a broiler pan or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Broil saba for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  7. Serve the broiled saba immediately on a plate, drizzled generously with the green onion sauce. Garnish with extra chopped green onions, if desired.
