Ingredients
1 1/2-pound sea bass or red snapper
3 to 5 pounds Sicilian course salt or edible rock salt
1 sprig thyme
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Directions
- Preheat oven 425 for 20 minutes. Clean entire fish, leaving head and tail intact. Place about 1 pound of salt on an oven tray or a heat-proof ceramic plate and place fish on top. Sprinkle fish with salt and place the thyme in the cavity. Cover the fish with the remaining salt. Bake for 15 minutes.
