  1. Sprinkle 2 tbsp sea salt liberally on both sides of each fish, and leave for 30 minutes. Rinse and pat dry.
  2. Cover the tails and fins with foil to stop them burning. Sprinkle over 1 tsp salt per fish. Cook under a hot grill for about 3-4 minutes each side until the skin is crisp and flesh cooked (it will look flaky).
  3. Mix the chilli with the mooli and serve with the fish.
