SALT CRUSTED WHOLE FISH
When looking for a recipe for salt crusted fish, saw this one on Guy Fieri's show and he says this process helps to cut down on the salty taste you can get from the other recipes (like the other one I have posted) What I know is that the ingredients and spices sound great so I want to save this. DH fell in love with the salt crusted fish served in Italy so I really need to get my game together on this method.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, trimmed to extend 3-inches in diameter around outside of the fish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the egg whites, sea salt, flour, 2 tablespoons of the parsley and 1/2 cup of water. Mix with your hands until a thick paste forms.
- Fill the cavity of the fish with the sun-dried tomatoes, olives, artichoke hearts and lemon slices.
- Rub the exterior of the fish with the garlic, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley and freshly ground black pepper.
- Put the fish on the parchment lined baking sheet. Mound the salt paste evenly over the entire fish.
- Press the mixture firmly down to the baking sheet, being careful to seal any cracks.
- Bake the fish until the crust is golden brown and very firm, about 18 to 20 minutes.
- Slide the parchment and fish onto serving platter or cutting board and crack the crust with a handle of a large knife.
- Slide a spoon under the top fillet, over the spine, and lift it to a serving platter.
- Turn over and repeat.
- Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place each branzino on a cutting board. Cut off the top and side fins using scissors. Arrange 3 even piles of the lemon slices, 2 sprigs thyme and 2 sprigs rosemary in a cast-iron skillet large enough to hold all 3 fish (or use smaller cast-iron skillets large enough to hold one fish each). Lay a fish on top of each pile in a standing position so that the open cavity is resting on the lemons, and herbs. Set aside.
- Combine the salt, egg whites and dried thyme in a large bowl to form a grainy paste. Press a 1/4-inch layer of the salt mixture onto each fish until they are completely encased.
- Place the skillet or skillets in the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 135 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the fish, about 20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Use a large spoon to break open the salt mixture-you will need to apply a little force-and peel the salt layer off.
- Serve the fish family-style, with lemon wedges.
MMMM SALT ENCRUSTED BAKED FISH
Nope - not salty & unbelievably easy! Bonus - cracking the salt shell at the table (dramatic in itself) reveals a perfectly cooked whole fish that retains its beautiful coloration! This is a great recipe for anyone trying to get the essence of fresh fish (salt or fresh-water) with the bonus of no added fat & ease preparation (yo! - beginner cooks & those with kids who want to help!). You can leave fish unadorned or add lemon & fresh herbs (fresh baby chervil, thyme, oregano, Italian parsley, chives, garlic cloves or scapes all work well). Directions are explicit & thus appear long - but really truly easy! Mmm good--there are so few foods that are so good & low calorie!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Line a pan 2 to 3 inches longer than the fish with aluminum foil (I have used cookie sheets covered in aluminum foil with aluminum foil lips for larger fish).
- Pour the eggs whites into a large bowl. Add salt--goal is consistency of wet sand.
- Layer 1 to 2 inches in pan. Make this layer several inches larger than the fish.
- Rinse fish & pat dry, then lay onto salt.
- Sprinkle 1/2 T zest over area fish will rest.
- Stuff fish with herbs &/or diced lemon (pith removed from lemon first).
- Lay fish onto salt bed, laying so that abdominal incision is covered (to avoid being filled with salt).
- Pack wet salt mixture on & around fish. Pat down gently.
- Bake 40 minutes (I add 10 -12 minutes for each additional pound of fish).
- Remove from oven & let sit for 10 to 15 minutes (perfect for last minute table arranging).
- Crack the salt shell with a mallet or heavy spoon & peel off chunks of shell to expose the fish.
- Inhale! Admire the color of the fish (red snapper, sheepshead, strawberry grouper & Spanish mackerel all look brilliant) then lift top fillet from bone & serve (some small bone from fins will be in fillets). Don't forget the cheeks! Mmm!
- Lift tail to remove back bone (often with the head) to get to the other side.
- Clean up is to lift the foil & throw salt crust, bones & skin away.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- 2. Rinse the fish with cold water, pat it dry and refrigerate until just before cooking.
- 3. Pour a fine layer of salt in the bottom of an oven-proof baking dish that is just slightly larger than the fish. Lay two bay leaves on the salt, then place the fish on the bay leaves. Place the peppercorns inside the belly cavity of the fish, then top the fish with the remaining 2 bay leaves. Pour the remaining salt over the fish to cover it, leaving the tail fin exposed if necessary.
- 3. Place the fish on the middle rack in the center of the oven and bake for 25 minutes. You cannot test the fish for doneness - you simply have to trust the timing. Remove the fish from the oven and gently crack off the layer of salt, removing as much of it as you can. Most of the skin will come off the fish as well - what doesn't come off when you remove the salt you need to remove gently, using a sharp knife.
- 4. Remove the fillets divide the fish among four slightly warmed dinner plates. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with the chervil, if desired.

- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a piece of foil. (To roast the fish in a foil packet instead of a salt crust, see Variation below.)
- To prepare salt crust: Combine salt, water and herbes de Provence in a bowl; mix until it's the consistency of wet sand. Spread half the salt mixture on the prepared baking sheet in a rectangle just larger than the fish.
- To prepare fish: Open the fish up and season the inside with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Then add a layer of half the herbs, a layer of the lemon slices and then of the remaining herbs. Place the stuffed fish on the rectangle of salt. Pat the remaining salt mixture over the fish to cover completely.
- Bake the fish for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Using a large spoon, rap all around the edge of the salt crust to loosen it. Remove the salt top and carefully remove the skin. Use an offset spatula to remove the top fillet from the bones and transfer to a warmed serving plate. (Wipe away any stray salt.) Use the spatula to lift away the bottom fillet and place it on the plate. Gently scrape off the herbs and lemon slices.

- Whisk together the egg whites and water until foamy, and then add the salt, using as much of the salt as you can, mix it with your hands, trying to coat the salt evenly with the egg white mixture.
- Preferably, choose an oval casserole dish that will hold the fish and fill it with about a third of the salt.
