Peixe ao sal

Fish baked in salt

Medium, One Pot (technically)

Source: Eduardo

Ingredients

• A medium to big fresh, whole Fish. Something like snook, bream, or flounder. My preferred one is dourada, "gilt-head bream".

• 1 or 2 Kg of coarse salt

Steps

Take a fish and place it on an oven tray, completely covered in salt on all sides. Really, like a 0.5cm layer all around, you should not be able to see any of the fish. Press it lightly.

Pre-heat the oven at 200°C and bake for about half an hour. Yes, that's it, just don't eat the skin.
