Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  2. Mix salt and flour together in a bowl, mix water in gradually until a thick paste forms.

  3. Spread 1/3 of the salt mixture onto prepared baking sheet to form 1/2-inch thick bottom crust. Place snapper onto bottom crust, cover fully with remaining salt mixture to form 1/2-inch thick top crust.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

  5. Crack crust with a fork, remove crust and skin from snapper to serve.

Recipe Yield

1 2-pound snapper

Recipe Note

Fish crusted with salt is an old Mediterranean trick. The fish is moist and flavorful, and the salt crust can be used on other whole small firm white fish.
