Fish baked in salt
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Fish baked in salt, as I already mentioned, is very delicious. The gilt-head bream turned out extremely juicy and definitely not over-salted. In general, this recipe is suitable for cooking any white fish with the head. Yes! The fish must be white and must have the head :) The finished dish can be served at the table.
