Clean the female capelin fish under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Sprinkle salt evenly over the fish, inside and out, and let sit for 10 minutes.

Preheat the grill to medium heat.

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sake, and mirin to create a marinade.

Brush the marinade over the fish, ensuring even coverage.

Place the fish on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until the skin is crispy and the flesh is opaque.

Remove the fish from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.

Serve the fish garnished with chopped green onions, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
