Drizzle the outside of the fish with olive oil, then season to taste.
Braai without turning, over medium coals for 5 minutes on each side.
Brush the glaze onto the fish and continue cooking. Turning often so the glaze doesn’t burn.

Use any firm white sustainable fish.
Spray the braai grid with cooking spray to prevent the fish from sticking.
