Sanma

A grilled fish lunch.

Sanma (mackerel pike) is one of my preferred Japanese fish. Ideal for Summer.

Too long for my oven-toaster, I cut them. I simply empty, rinse, sprinkle natural salt and grill shio-yaki.

Summer kabocha pumpkin. I cut slices, steamed them till 3/4 cooked and grilled with the fish. Rice and white cucumber (salted, let 15 minutes, rinsed) are the other savory sides.

Dessert : Mango ice cream (frozen mango + coconut cream in the blender, frozen again).

Belle jardinière

Jardinière de légumes.
A jardinière is a woman gardener. She gave her name for all mix of season veggies from the garden. Today, they are simply steamed together.

Sanma fish, Pacific saury. I bought it salted. So I grilled it 5 minutes in the oven-toaster. I have not added anything to the vegetables because salty fish is very strong, salty, fat, fishy. Eating them together with a little squizzed lemon gives a nice balance.
