- salt (preferably sea salt)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional
- 1 teaspoon ginger juice optional

Pan-frying:
- Preheat a skillet with cooking oil over medium high heat. Place the fish, skin side down.

Broiling:
- Preheat the broiler on high. Place the fish, skin side up, 4 - 6 inches away from the broiler.
