Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Marinating the fish with salt at least one hour before grilling allows osmotic pressure to firm up the flesh and greatly enhances its savory depth.
  • Using tempura flour instead of regular flour helps absorb excess moisture and impurities, resulting in a richer, more crisp texture.
  • If your home skillet is smaller than the fish, do not force it in—cut the red snapper in half to ensure even oil distribution and proper cooking.
  • Use plenty of oil without hesitation—this ensures the crust remains intact and results in a higher-quality grilled fish dish.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a premium sushi-restaurant-style grilled fish at home with a crispy exterior and juicy interior.
  • People curious about the technique for preparing and grilling large fish like red snapper without any fishy smell.
