Instructions:
-
Clean only the internal organs of a large sea bass fish weighing about 1.5 kg. Keep the scales, tail and head. The scales will prevent the salt from penetrating the fish and becoming too salty. Wash and drain your fish that has been sorted in this way.
-
Separate the egg whites and put them in a deep whisk. First, mix it with a teaspoon of salt until it gets a consistency, add table salt and sea salt and mix it until it becomes a slurry.
-
Lay a suitable baking paper on the baking tray and spread half of the salt mixture.
-
On the other hand, to stuff the fish, peel the onion and chop it into half rings.
-
Remove fresh herbs from their stems. Take the fish on the tray. Place it belly up, taking care not to get salt inside. Place the onion, lemon slices, bay leaves, spices and fresh herbs inside.
-
Spread the remaining salt mixture over the fish without leaving any gaps.
-
Pre-set your oven to 200 degrees and bake for about 35-40 minutes until the salt layer turns a light brown color.
-
Take your cooked fish to the table as a whole and break it from the edge with the help of a hammer and screwdriver. The salt will break up in layers and separate from the fish. You can peel the skin of the cooked fish, cut it into pieces, and serve it with lemon and sumac onion fries. Bon Appetit!
