Preparing Eel from the Grill using an oven
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
- 1 whole eel, cleaned and gutted
- Olive oil for brushing
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional marinade or glaze: soy sauce, mirin, sugar, sake (for a traditional Japanese-style unagi sauce)
Step 2: Prepare the eel Rinse the eel under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. If you’re using a marinade or glaze, mix the ingredients together and brush it onto the eel. Season the eel with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Cook in the oven Preheat your oven to 200 degrees C (400 degrees F) and set it to grill/broil mode. Place the eel on a baking sheet, skin side up. Grill in the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until the skin is crispy and the flesh is tender. If you’re using a glaze, you may want to baste the eel with more glaze halfway through cooking.
Note: The cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your oven and the size of the eel.
Step 4: Serve Grilled eel is best served hot. It can be served as is, or over rice for a traditional Japanese unadon (grilled eel rice bowl). You can also serve it with a side of pickled vegetables or a simple salad.
