Charcoal-Grilled Yellowtail Collar
- 1 yellowtail collar, about 9 ounces
- sea salt
- grated daikon
- soy sauce
- Prepare a barbecue using hardwood charcoal (the fire needs to burn down, so do this a good 45 minutes before cooking).
- The collar sputters a bit from its natural fish oils, so cook over low heat.
- Lay the yellowtail collar on a small clean grate and set directly over the fire.
- Sprinkle lightly with salt from a foot above the fish and cook slowly for about 10 minutes.
- Flip carefully and salt the other side.
- Flip every 10 minutes or so and cook for a total of 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the thickness and the heat.
- Alternatively, broil slowly on a rack set over a foil-lined broiler pan in the third position from the top of the oven.
- Check after 5 minutes to gauge the broiler heat.
- If the collar is browning too quickly, move the rack to a lower position.
- Turn several times for even cooking and browning.
- Depending on the broiler, this will take from 10 to 15 minutes.
- Transfer the collar from the grill to an attractive plate.
- Squeeze a few spoonfuls of grated daikon in your fist to remove excess liquid, mound on the plate next to the collar, and drizzle the center of the mound with soy sauce.
- Let people dig in with chopsticks as a convivial first course or snack with drinks before dinner.
