Completely dry the skin of the South Australian Yellowtail Kingfish. Just before you place on the fry pan, season the Kingfish skin with salt and pepper. In a fry pan on medium heat, add oil and when hot, place the South Australian Yellowtail Kingfish skin side down. While the skin side is cooking, season the flesh side with salt and pepper. Cook on medium for about 6 minutes until skin is crispy. Flip Kingfish over and cook for another 1-2 minutes until done. Important not to overcook. Finish the dish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.

Turnover and continue cooking for a further 1-2 minutes, until it is beautifully charred and cooked through. The result is a smoky, flavorful dish that pairs wonderfully with a light salad or grilled vegetables.
