Directions
Prepare
Rinse the fish well with cold water and wipe dry with a cloth.
Lay the fish flat on a grill, skin side up.
Broil
Broil over clear coals until the underside is evenly browned, about 10-15 minutes.
Turn the fish and brown the other side in the same way, about 10-15 minutes more.

The step that matters
Turning the fish. Turning carefully keeps the flesh intact and lets both sides brown evenly. Moist surfaces brown more slowly than dry ones, so wiping the fish dry first helps the skin and flesh develop color during broiling.
