Marinate the Yellowtail
Place the Yellowtail Kampachi fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring that it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a stronger flavor.

Sear the Fish
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade (discard marinade) and place the fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
