Advice

Dry skin = crisp skin. Pat the fish well and use a hot tray so the underside sears instead of steaming.

Why it works

Scoring evens cooking and lets lemon–garlic penetrate; a splash of wine steams gently while olive oil and fish juices emulsify into a bright pan sauce.

Twist

Swap parsley for dill + thyme or add 1 tsp sweet paprika to the rub for a Balkan warmth.

Status

Lake breeze on a plateβ€”Ohrid pastrmka with crackly skin and lemon shine. #grannyzen #macedonianseafood πŸŸπŸ‹
