Salt-Crusted Sea Bass
English:
Salt-crusted sea bass is a simple yet refined dish from Mediterranean cuisine. It's prepared by completely covering the fish with a crust of coarse salt, often mixed with egg white or aromatic herbs such as rosemary and lemon. During baking, the salt forms a crust that retains moisture, ensuring tender and juicy meat without the need for excessive seasoning. Once cooked, the fish is removed from the salt crust, filleted, and served with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a light side dish, such as steamed vegetables or salad.

Salt-crusted sea bass is a simple yet refined dish from Mediterranean cuisine. It's prepared by completely covering the fish with a thick layer of coarse salt, sometimes mixed with egg white or aromatic herbs such as rosemary and lemon. During baking, the salt forms a crust that locks in moisture, ensuring tender and juicy flesh without the need for excessive seasoning. Once cooked, the fish is freed from the salt crust, filleted, and served with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a light side dish, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
