Ingredients

Method

Place a parchment-lined tray in the oven and heat to 210 C (410 F).
Mix the sugar, paprika, garlic powder, mustard powder and salt.
Dry the fillet, brush with oil and press the rub onto the flesh.
Slide the fillet, skin-side down, onto the hot tray.
Bake 14 to 18 minutes until the thickest part is opaque and flaking.
Slide a spatula between flesh and skin to lift the portions off, and serve with lemon.

Tips

Fold the thin tail under to even out thickness. The hot tray gives a roasted texture without a plank. Check the thickest part: the flesh should be opaque and flake easily with a fork, and you should follow your food-safety agency guidance on safe internal temperature.

Storage

Cool promptly, then refrigerate in a sealed container and eat within the period recommended by your local food-safety agency. Reheat gently until steaming hot, or serve cold in salads and sandwiches.
