Step 1
Warm cooked rice with rice vinegar and sugar until grains just stick together but remain loose. Divide between two bowls.
Step 2
Pat mackerel fillets dry and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear mackerel skin-side down 2 minutes until skin crisps and releases easily.
Step 4
Flip and sear flesh side 90 seconds until opaque. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into bite-sized pieces.
Step 5
Arrange mackerel pieces in a single layer over each rice bowl, pressing gently so they adhere to the warm rice.
Step 6
Top each bowl with pickled ginger, a dollop of wasabi, nori strips, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
