Description
To prepare cod in salt crust, you need a good amout of salt, 250 g in total. That sounds a bit scary, but do not be afraid that this might be too much. The salt only serves as a kind of sarcophagus. When heated in the oven, the salt turns into a solid crust, keeping liquid and juices inside. In this dish the fish is stuffed with herbs and enriched with lemon juice, making the fish fillet tender and juicy.
If you are not a fan of cod, choose a fish to your liking. The important thing to remember is that the fish should not have too many bones. Enjoy!
