It's ridiculously fast, simple and tasty. Breakfast this morning was miso soup, rice, and fried ahi. Not a power breakfast at all but it suits me just fine.

I have not heard of that practice. I like to do the opposite - I add a layer of salt to the fish and let it set for 20 minutes or so then scrape the salt off and grill. This removes some of the water out and firms the flesh. It's the classical, dead-simple, Japanese method of grilling fish called shioyaki i.e., salt-grilled.
