Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 20 minutes, plus salting time
- Sprinkle 2 tbsp sea salt liberally on both sides of each fish, and leave for 30 minutes. Rinse and pat dry.
- 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).
- Mix the chilli with the mooli and serve with the fish.
mooli
Mooli aka daikon, this looks like a long white radish and is quite widely available.
