Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Prepare the fish by gutting it, removing the head and fins. Cut the fish in half.
Step 2
Make diagonal cuts in the skin on each side of the fillet. Pat the fish dry with a paper towel. Generously season the fish with salt on both sides. Set aside for 20 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat a grill pan over medium heat and brush it with vegetable oil.
Step 4
Brush off any visible salt crystals, place the fish skin-side down, and drizzle with lemon juice.
Step 5
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and the flesh whitens. Flip and cook on the other side for about 2 minutes.
