THE FISH: Clean, wash and make 3 deep incisions across each side.

THE MARINATION: Hang the yoghurt in muslin for 15 minutes to remove the whey. Separate the egg yolks, discard the whites. Transfer yoghurt and yolks to a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients, whisk and rub the fish with this mixture. Keep aside for 3 hours.
