how do i make fish in salt?

Answer 1

WHOLE FISH BAKED IN SALT

Regardless of the salt you use here, whether it be kosher, rock or sea salt, it will rarely be put to better use than encasing an entire fish while it bakes. The fish emerges succulent, with every ounce of flavor and texture intact, and the salt breaks away leaving just the perfect hint of saltiness.

One whole fish weighing about 1 1/2 pounds, cleaned, head, tail, and scales left on
10 whole peppercorns
4 bay leaves
2 pounds coarse salt (I recommend sea salt)
Extra virgin olive oil for serving
Chervil sprigs for garnish

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2. Rinse the fish with cold water, pat it dry and refrigerate until just before cooking.

3. Pour a fine layer of salt in the bottom of an oven-proof baking dish that is just slightly larger than the fish. Lay two bay leaves on the salt, then place the fish on the bay leaves. Place the peppercorns inside the belly cavity of the fish, then top the fish with the remaining 2 bay leaves. Pour the remaining salt over the fish to cover it, leaving the tail fin exposed if necessary.

3. Place the fish on the middle rack in the center of the oven and bake for 25 minutes. You cannot test the fish for doneness — you simply have to trust the timing. Remove the fish from the oven and gently crack off the layer of salt, removing as much of it as you can. Most of the skin will come off the fish as well — what doesn't come off when you remove the salt you need to remove gently, using a sharp knife. 4. Remove the fillets divide the fish among four slightly warmed dinner plates.

Answer 2

If you mean how do you preserve fish in salt, put rock salt on them, the water will drain out so put them in a place they can drain with no problem. It can be warm. Put the salt on both sides and be generous with it. Latter the fish will get hard as brick bats then you can shake the excess salt off and they will keep for a long time, to get them back like fresh fish, soak them in fresh water a couple days changing the water once every 4 to 6 hours and then cook them or fix them anyway you want. There will still be enough salt on them so don't add more. Good Luck
