Method:

Fish

1. Ask your fish monger to scale, fillet and pin bone the fillets.
2. Cut the fillet into 10cm portions.
3. With a sharp knife, make two small cuts into the skin of the fillets, making sure you cut only the skin and not too deep into the flesh.
4. Pat dry the skin well with paper towel, season with salt.
5. Place a non-stick pan over a medium heat (or you can use a barbecue hot plate) and once the pan is hot, add oil.
6. Place fish portions into oiled pan (be careful not to overcrowd the pan or barbecue plate, as this causes the temperature to drop and you will not get crispy skin).
7. Apply pressure to the top of each fillet with a large spatula.
8. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the fillet is cooked halfway through.
9. Turn fillets and cook for a further 30 seconds.
10. Remove from the pan and place in a warm place to rest for a further 2 minutes. The fillets should be white, and if cooked through, allow a skewer to pass through the flesh easily.
