سمك القاروص المغطى بالملح
Mediterranean 15 Mins Prep · 30 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6.
- Place the scaled and gutted sea bass on a clean work surface and stuff it with the lemon slices, parsley, finely sliced garlic, freshly ground pepper, and fennel seeds.
- To make the salt crust, place the salt in a large bowl, and stir in enough cold water to make the salt feel like wet sand.
- Spread out some of the salt mixture onto a baking tray so that it is roughly the length and width of the fish.
- Place the sea bass on the salt mound and pack the rest of the salt mixture over the fish to seal in the moisture.
- Use a thin sharp knife to poke a hole through the salt mound and into the thickest part of the fish (usually near the head) to allow steam to escape.
- Place the tray in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the fish reads at 50°C.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 10 minutes.
- Crack the salt mound with the back of a spoon and break it off in large chunks, discarding it.
- Serve the sea bass with the lemon wedges and fresh dill.
