Salt-grilled (broiled) fish is a popular dish in Japan and other parts of Asia, where it is often served with rice and miso soup. It's a simple yet delicious way to prepare fish, and can be made with a variety of different types of fish. In Japan, salt-grilled fish is known as shioyaki, and is typically made with small fish like mackerel or salmon. The fish is scored to help it cook evenly and to allow the salt to penetrate the flesh. Grilling the fish with the skin on keeps it moist and flavorful.

3.	Score fish on both sides and sprinkle with salt.
