Ingredients

  • 400 gram Redfish
  • 14 gram Ghee Can be replaced by a 1:1 mix of oil and butter

Instructions

  • 30 minutes before you prepare the fish, remove it from the refrigerator and season it generously with gourmet salt. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the fish.
  • Let the fish sit for 20 minutes. This draws out some of the moisture from the fish and makes the flesh firmer.
  • Rinse the flesh under cold water and gently pat it dry - I usually use a clean kitchen towel for this.
  • Cook the fish on the skin side for 5 minutes over medium-high heat (10/11 out of 14 on my stove) in ghee or a mix of oil and butter.
  • After 5 minutes, flip the fish and cook for 20-30 seconds on the other side.
  • The fish is now ready to be served.
