- 1/2 glass Water
- 1 Lemon
- Spices to taste
Instructions
- Start by turning on the oven to preheat it to 200ºC.Put in a bowl the salt you are going to use, and add the juice of a lemon and a handful of aromatic herbs.
- In an ovenproof dish, put part of the salt, enough to cover the bottom. Place the sea bass on top and finish covering with salt. Leave the head uncovered to check if it is ready.
- Splash a little water over the salt, with your hands, to slightly hydrate it and press the salt with your hands. Now all that remains is to bake.
- Bake at 200ºC between 30 and 35 minutes, although it will depend on each oven and the size of the sea bass. Therefore, a good way to know if they are ready is to look at the eye. If it is completely white, the sea bass are ready.
