Tips/Tricks

  • feel free to adjust the chili flakes as per your spice levels
  • resting fish is just as important as resting meat, it allows the juices to redistribute and leaves you with a moister fish
  • you could substitute barramundi for mackerel cutlets, monkfish, mahi mahi or emperor fish
