Fish in Salt Crust, Boiled Potatoes

Prepare the ingredients. Prepare all the ingredients and lay them out on your work surface – we will cook step by step from them 👩‍🍳🥘 and preheat the oven to 200°C

Fill the fish. Brush the scaled and gutted sea bass with olive oil, and place thyme, parsley, and 1/4 of a lemon inside

Create the salt crust. In a bowl, mix salt with a bit of water to a wet sand consistency (in the video, coarse salt is mixed half and half with fine salt, but you can just use fine salt)

Coat the fish in the salt crust and bake. Place the fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover it with the salt crust so that the tail fin and eyes are visible. Bake at 200°C for 20 minutes.

Boil the potatoes. While the fish is baking, boil the potatoes in salted water until soft (about 20 minutes)

Remove the fish and break the crust. After the fish is baked, break the salt crust and remove the fish

Serve. Serve either whole or deboned and skinned, with potatoes and lemon 🍽️😋
