When ready to cook, place the pan under a hot broiler, about 3 inches from the source of heat, and broil for 5 to 6 minutes without turning, until the skin begins to blister and brown and the flesh is cooked through. If the fillets are thicker than 1 inch, add 1 to 2 minutes to the cooking time. Slide a fillet, skin-side up, onto each serving plate.

Delicious!!! And so simple. You wind up with flavorful, juicy bluefish. Best bluefish I have ever had.
Love very fresh blue fish. I used oregano, thyme and garlic instead. for I didn't have Italian seasoning handy. And of course Kosher salt. It doesn't taste the same without it.
