Salted fish

Ingredients

garlic

4 cloves

bay leaf

1 leaf

parsley

1 sprig

egg white

3 units

coarse salt

2 kg

pepper

1 tbsp

croaker (with scales, guts and gills removed)

2 kg

lemon

1 unit

extra virgin olive oil

steamed vegetable mix

2 packs (400 g)

Preparation

Step 1

Put 2 cloves of garlic, the bay leaf, half the parsley and an egg white in a food processor. Blend well until you get a paste.

Step 2

In a bowl, add the salt, the previous paste, the remaining egg whites and pepper. Mix everything with your hands, until the salt is well mixed with the seasoning.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 200 ºC.

Step 4

Line a baking tray with baking paper. Make a first layer of salt and place the sea bass on top. Stuff the belly of the fish with lemon slices and the remaining parsley.

Step 5

Cover the fish with the remaining salt, so that it is completely covered.

Step 6

Place in the oven and cook for 40 minutes.

Step 7

When the fish is almost ready, heat the olive oil and the remaining chopped garlic. Heat over low heat, just to flavor the oil.

Step 8

Remove the fish from the oven and lightly tap the salt to break it up.

Step 9

Remove the salt crust and serve the fish with the vegetable mix.
