What is a flatfish?
- A flatfish is a specialty fish from the sea of Nha Trang, with a size that varies greatly from very small to very large.
- The spines of flatfish contain toxins, and these spines usually appear on the dorsal fin, pectoral fin, and anal fin of the fish.
- The flesh and roe of flatfish during the breeding season are extremely delicious, prepared into many tasty dishes, and one that cannot be missed is grilled flatfish with salt and chili, for which you will find a specific recipe suggested below.
How to choose fresh and delicious flatfish
- For this dish, you should choose flatfish weighing about 500g each for grilling, as they will taste better.
- Choose fish that have a diamond shape and are flattened on both sides.
- Observe the eyes of the fish; if the eyes are clear and not cloudy, the fish is fresh.
- Turn the fish over to check the gills; fresh fish have pinkish-red gills.
- Gently press on the flesh of the fish; if you feel the elasticity of the flesh, you should choose that one.
- Do not choose fish with dark red gills or cloudy eyes, as they may be fish that have been dead for a long time and will not taste good.
- Absolutely do not buy flatfish if pressing on the flesh causes it to dent, as they may be spoiled fish.

Prepare other ingredients
Peeled garlic should be minced along with 2 chili peppers to marinate the fish.
-
Marinate the fish
Prepare the marinade ingredients for the fish including a mixture of minced garlic and chili, 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, 1/2 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1/3 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder, and 1/2 tablespoon of honey. Stir well for the spices to blend together.
Brush the sauce evenly over both surfaces of the fish and marinate for about 15 minutes to let the fish absorb the flavors before grilling.
Tip: You should put some marinade inside the fish’s belly for a more flavorful grilled fish.
-
Grill the fish
Grill the fish using an air fryer, place the marinated fish inside and set the temperature to 180 degrees Celsius for about 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, flip the fish, add all the garlic and chili that fell off during marinating, then set the temperature to 200 degrees Celsius and grill for 15 minutes until the fish is cooked and fragrant.
Tip: If you don’t have an air fryer, you can grill it in an oven with similar time and temperature or grill it over charcoal.
