Tips:
1. Salted Spanish mackerel must be desalted first. The purpose is to soak the salt in the Spanish mackerel meat to make the mackerel meat soft and delicious, but be careful not to take too long. Excessive desalting will make the Spanish mackerel lose its strong taste.
2. Steamed salted mackerel should be paired with radishes, preferably dried radishes. Dried radishes also need to be soaked in advance. Choosing fresh radishes is relatively easy and the taste is great.
3. Steamed salted mackerel does not need cooking wine. Put the green onion and ginger on the top, so that the taste goes down. If it is put on the bottom, the taste will be bad.
4. When steaming, do not open the lid immediately when the time is up, simmer for a while, use the residual heat to let the flavor of the spaniel into the radish. It can be spicy. You can add some dried chilies when steaming, and the flavor will be richer.
