Fish in sea salt

Name: Fish in sea salt
Ingredients: whole fish of your choice; fresh herbs of your choice; course sea salt

Not Too Tricky

About the recipe

Fish cooked this way is so quick and easy, dead sociable to eat and, most importantly, tastes luscious. The fish retains all its natural moisture and juices and just seems to melt away from the bone; it does not, as you would imagine, taste salty at all.
