SPANISH BAKED FISH IN SALT CRUST

Ingredients

• 500g all-purpose flour

• 200g coarse sea salt

• 150g fine table salt

• 2 egg whites

• 400ml water

• One small bunch fresh basil

• One small bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley

• One lemon, sliced

• One whole fresh, sustainably caught fish (approx 600 to 800 grams)

Method

Prepare the fish. Remove any sharp fins before scaling the fish. Next remove the gills and guts, rinse the cavity (your local fishmonger can assist). Fill the cavity with herbs and lemon slice. Pat dry and reserve.

Mix the dough. To make the salt crust, use a mixing machine to combine all the ingredients until a dough is formed.

Create the dish. Roll out the salt crust dough into a large rectangle and place on a baking tray. Place the fish on the tray before covering with another layer of the dough. Seal the edges and place the baking tray into a hot oven (approx 220 degrees celcius) for around 40 minutes. Remove and allow to rest for a few minutes before opening the crust. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the fish.
