Be sure to precisely measure the salt amount and not to exceed the brining time, otherwise the final result may be too salty.
Keep the serving plates in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve.

I cooked this fish for family who were visiting and we all agreed that it was better than anything we'd eaten in a restaurant! I didn't take the skin off before marinating, just put it flesh side down in the brine and left it for 6-7 hours. Fried it in the olive oil for 2-3 minutes on the flesh side, long enough to sear, then turned it over and put the lid on for about five more minutes on the skin side. Delicious and infinitely repeatable!
I didn't notice I had to brine the fish, so I replicated the recipe, brine and all, and cooked it a l'etouffee in the oven for 15 minutes after boiling the brine mix. Guest and husband were very impressed.
Recommendation to Lestobo: make sure you measure carefully the quantity of salt and do not leave it brine for too long, otherwise it may be too salty.
