Salt-crusted fish step-by-step recipe:
Ingredients:
1 fish (dorado, salmon, trout, sea bass)
1 lemon
1 teaspoon of coriander
1 teaspoon of dried garlic
2 kg of salt
150-200 ml of water
2 stalks of leek
60 grams of butter
3 garlic cloves
50 ml of dry white wine
100 grams of hazelnuts
Couple of sprigs of rosemary
Salt and pepper, coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 220 C.
Rinse the cleaned fish thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
Sprinkle the inside of the fish with 1 teaspoon of salt, the salt can be rubbed into the carcass for better soaking.
For the seasoning: grind 1 teaspoon of coriander and add one teaspoon of dried garlic. Season the inside of the carcass with the resulting mixture. Slice 1 lemon into circles, put a few in the fish and press it to squeeze out some juice.
Step 2
Let's prepare the base for the salt crust! Pour 2 kg of salt into a deep bowl, add 150-200 ml of boiled water and mix everything thoroughly. The consistency of the mixture should be similar to loose snow - so you can pour not immediately all the water, and pour gradually to the desired degree.
Step 3
Spread half of the salt mixture in a layer on the baking tray. Put the fish on top. Cover the whole carcass with salt on all sides, as a result you should get a kind of "sarcophagus" for the fish. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes at 200 C.
Step 4
While the fish is baking, make an exquisite garnish.
Take 2 stalks of leeks, cut off the root and feathers, and cut the stalk itself into large pieces (2-3 pieces from one stalk).
Pour frying oil into a frying pan and place the leeks in it. When the pan is heated, melt a piece of butter (30 grams) on it. In the same place we will need to add 3 cloves of garlic. To make it give all its flavor to the dish, crush each clove with a knife, then - throw it on the frying pan. Season with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper. Don't forget to turn the leeks so they fry until golden on all sides.
For a rich flavor, also put a couple sprigs of fresh rosemary in the melted butter.
Melt another piece of butter (30 grams) in a pan. Pour the melted butter and spices over the leeks to infuse them with rich flavor and aroma.
When the leeks are golden on all sides, add 50 ml of dry white wine. Cook under a lid over a low heat for another 10 minutes (the oil should only bubble a little).
Step 5
In a separate pan pour 100 grams of hazelnuts - dry for 5 minutes without oil, and then - chop with a knife.
Step 6
Take the cooked fish out of the oven. With a spoon or a knife, break the salt crust and carefully peel the skin off the fish. Cut the fish fillets into pieces and place on a plate. Put and garnish with leeks, which can be topped with the sauce left after frying. Decorate everything on top with chopped hazelnuts.
A great addition will be a salad according to our recipes!
Bon appetit!
