Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups fine sea salt
1/2 cup egg whites (about 3)
1 2-pound whole branzino (or black sea bass, porgy, monkfish or lobster -- any fish that has a somewhat thick skin, won't fall apart easily and isn't too oily; tuna and salmon are too oily)
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
3 to 4 sprigs parsley
1 clove garlic, peeled and mashed
2 slices lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Combine the sea salt and egg whites until the mixture looks like wet sand.
  • Stuff the branzino with the rosemary, parsley, garlic and lemon slices, then pack the outside tightly with the salt mixture. Put the branzino on a baking sheet.
  • Bake until the salt turns golden brown, about 15 minutes. Place on a serving dish.
  • Bring the branzino to the table for a few oohs and aahs, crack open the salt with a knife handle, brush away the salt, fillet the fish and serve.
