• 🍋 Lemon wedges, to serve
• 🌱 Grated daikon (optional), to serve

Preparation

• Pat the fillets dry. (Optional) Rub with sake, then dry again.

• Preheat broiler to 230°C / 450°F (or heat a grill to medium-high).
• Place fillets skin-side up on a lightly oiled rack or foil.
• Broil/grill 7–10 minutes until the skin is blistered and the thickest part just flakes. Do not overcook.
• Serve immediately with lemon wedges and grated daikon.
