Saba koumiyaki(サバの香味焼き)
What kind of dish is Saba koumiyaki??
This fish dish is made by marinating mackerel in shiso sauce and grilling it in a frying pan. The sweet and salty sauce soaks into the mackerel well. The delicious aroma of shiso leaves adds an accent to the dish.
Since mackerel is fatty, it remains soft and flavorful even after a long time, making it suitable for lunch boxes.
The shiso used in shiso sauce is called Japanese basil. In Japanese supermarkets, it is sold under the name ooba.
Shiso sauce is expected to have antibacterial properties. The unique scent of shiso is due to a compound called perillaldehyde. This compound has particularly strong antibacterial and preservative properties.
Blue fish such as mackerel contain a lot of good fat such as DHA and EPA. I want to eat blue fish positively.
However, since blue fish is prone to spoilage, it is a logical combination with shiso sauce, which has a preservative effect.

DHA and EPA are one of the unsaturated fatty acids that cannot be synthesized in the body. Unsaturated fatty acids are classified into monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
DHA and EPA belong to n-3 fatty acids among polyunsaturated fatty acids. DHA is expected to prevent and improve allergic diseases, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, dyslipidemia, stroke, and dermatitis.

EPA, like DHA, is said to be effective in preventing and improving allergic diseases, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, dyslipidemia, stroke, dermatitis, and so on. In addition, it is also used in health foods as a component that helps improve lifestyle-related diseases such as arteriosclerosis and dyslipidemia due to increased triglycerides.
The recommended intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids is around 2g per day. It is recommended to eat blue fish three times a week.
