# Mackerel sandwich with Setouchi lemon

Cook the local flavors once more　/　Matsuyama, Ehime

Breakfast in a fishing village on the Seto Inland Sea, made with the region's Setouchi lemon and eaten on the beach in front of the inn. Wrapped in a bamboo sheath to go: a Setouchi picnic set.

## Ingredients

- 2 slices of bread
- A mackerel fillet
- Garlic, chopped
- Oil
- Grainy mustard
- Leafy greens and shredded onion
- Sauce
- Setouchi lemon

## How I made it

1. Fry chopped garlic in oil, then grill the mackerel skin side down until browned
2. Toast the bread and spread one slice with grainy mustard
3. Pile on the greens and onion, add sauce, and cut the lemon
4. Lay the mackerel on top, close the sandwich and cut it in half
5. Wrap in a bamboo sheath and tie with string

## This moment in the journey: A mackerel sandwich with Setouchi lemon

Two slices of bread went into the toaster. I spread grainy mustard on one, piled on leafy greens and shredded onion, and drizzled on some sauce. I cut a Setouchi lemon in half, laid the hot mackerel on top, and closed the sandwich with the other slice.

Cut in two, it showed the mackerel in its cross-section. I set it on a bamboo sheath, folded it up, and tied it with string. Coffee from the coffee maker went into a white flask, and my Setouchi picnic set was ready.
