This is one of my favorite fish recipes. The salt crust keeps the fish moist and flavorful, and the crispy skin is to die for.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it twice now, and both times it turned out perfectly. The fish is so moist and flaky, and the salt crust gives it a wonderful flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fish came out a little dry. I think I might have overcooked it.
