Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tbsp miso, 1 tbsp mirin, and 1 tbsp soy sauce until smooth. Pat the 2 mackerel fillets dry and coat them evenly with the marinade.
Step 2
Let the fillets sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while you preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the fillets skin-side down.
Step 3
Broil the mackerel 6 inches from the heat until the top is caramelized and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 4
While the fish cooks, peel and julienne the 0.5 cup daikon into thin matchsticks. Slice the 2 green onions thinly on the diagonal.
Step 5
Serve the hot mackerel topped with the daikon and green onions. Add a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of sesame seeds if you like.
