The golden fish-shaped salt crust in this recipe is not merely decorative. The salt acts like clay to seal in the fish juices and aroma and cut down the cooking time.

  • 12 lb/1 kg sea bream, cleaned & scaled but head & tail left on

Method

Preheat the oven to 450°F/230°C/gas 8. Make the salt paste by adding 3 tbsp/45 ml flour and
