• Chives /Parsley ¼ cup
• 100g Butter

• 1 tbsp Fried shallots
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
• 1/3 cup Soy sauce

• 2 tsp Sea salt

Seafood Rub

• 2 tsp Sea salt

Method

1. Gut and scale your fish then score lengthways across
2. Preheat your Traeger Pro 780 to 230 degrees
3. Precook noodles and mix soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil and lime juice in a bowl and generously toss through noodles
4. Add chopped lemongrass and garlic to the noodle mix
5. Stuff fish cavity with noodles and tie up fish to hold noodles (optional)
6. Pat fish dry and apply olive oil and sea salt + seafood rub and make sure to rub liberally into fish
7. Carefully place fish directly onto your grill
8. In the meantime, mix melted butter and miso paste in a bowl
9. After 15 – 20 mins, squeeze lemon juice over the fish and baste with miso butter, then carefully turn the fish over and repeat on the other side. (I like to keep basting as I go, keeping the fish moist, only turning once). Note: the cooking time will vary on the size / type of your fish

10. Insert a fork into the bone, and if the meat pulls away easily you’ll know it’s ready
11. Carefully remove your fish to a serving board
12. Drizzle with melted miso butter and squeeze lemon over the fish
13. Garnish with chopped chilli, chives, spring onions, coriander,  lemon grass, fried shallots, and sesame seeds
14. Serve fish with soba noodles

Note:  you can add more of the soy sauce combo to the noodles before eating

Perfect for sharing, Enjoy!
