Dorada A La Sal
Atlantic Sea Bream Baked in a Salt Crust
3 Protein Boxes per serving. Serves 4.
Ingredients
| 1 | whole sea bream, head on (about 1 pound), gutted, scaled, rinsed and dried |
| 1 lb. | of kosher salt |
| 1 | egg white |
| dried herbs (optional) |
Instructions
Salt the inside of the sea bream and stuff with herbs if desired. Place the fish on an oiled oven tray. Thoroughly mix the salt and the egg white and completely cover the fish, packing it down firmly.
Place in a 375º oven and baked for about 25 minutes or until the salt turns the color of light toast.
Break the salt crust and de-bone the fish. Serve with an allioli sauce and mojo canario.*
Note: the fish can be prepared up to ½ a day ahead, and kept on its tray in the refrigerator. In this case, allow 5 – 10 more minutes in the oven because it will be cold, and therefore take longer to cook through.
*Jumpstart Patients should limit allioli or mojo canario intake to about 1 Tablespoon per serving.
