Sea bass in a salt crust
The Recipe
• Easy
• 2 portions
• Preparation time 10 minutes
• Cooking time 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 sea bass or bass of about 500 g
- 800 g of coarse salt
Preparation
The best way to enjoy sea bass is to cook it in a salt crust.
This way the full flavour of the fresh fish is enhanced.
1
Calculate roughly that a 500g sea bass or bass will take about 20-25 minutes to cook in a fan oven at 200°C. If the weight is greater or less, adjust the cooking time accordingly. For example, a 300g fish will take 15 minutes to cook, a 700g one about 30-35 minutes, and so on.
2
Gut the fish without removing the scales. Rinse it with fresh water. Take a baking dish large enough to hold the entire fish, sprinkle half the salt on it, sprinkle with water, and press firmly. Then place the fish on the salt and cover it with the remaining salt. Sprinkle with more water and press firmly.
3
Bake in the oven for 20/25 minutes at 200°C.
Comment
Salt-crusted sea bass is truly the only way to enjoy fish in its natural state, without any seasoning or anything else. The ultimate treat for any gourmet!
