Sea Bass in a Salt Crust, Boiled Potatoes

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

Stuff the fish. Rub the scaled and gutted sea bass with olive oil; inside place thyme, parsley and 1/4 lemon

Make the salt crust. In a bowl mix the salt with a little water to the consistency of wet sand (in the video coarse salt is half mixed with fine salt, but it is enough to use only fine salt)

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

Cook the potatoes. While the fish is baking, cook the potatoes in salted water until tender (approx. 20 minutes)

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

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