Mmmm salt encrusted baked fish (recipe) is a keto friendly food item with net carbohydrates of 0-1 per serving.
Recipe instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 8F.
- Line a pan 2 to 3 inches longer than the fish with aluminum foil (I have used cookie sheets covered in aluminum foil with aluminum foil lips for larger fish).
- Pour the eggs whites into a large bowl. Add salt--goal is consistency of wet sand.
- Layer 1 to 2 inches in pan. Make this layer several inches larger than the fish.
- Rinse fish & pat dry, then lay onto salt.
- Sprinkle 1/2 T zest over area fish will rest.
- Stuff fish with herbs &/or diced lemon (pith removed from lemon first).
- Lay fish onto salt bed, laying so that abdominal incision is covered (to avoid being filled with salt).
- Pack wet salt mixture on & around fish. Pat down gently.
- Bake40 minutes (I add 10 -12 minutes for each additional pound of fish).
- Remove from oven & let sit for 10 to 15 minutes (perfect for last minute table arranging).
- Crack the salt shell with a mallet or heavy spoon & peel off chunks of shell to expose the fish.
- Inhale! Admire the color of the fish (red snapper, sheepshead, strawberry grouper & Spanish mackerel all look brilliant) then lift top fillet from bone & serve (some small bone from fins will be in fillets). Don't forget the cheeks! Mmm!
- Lift tail to remove back bone (often with the head) to get to the other side.
- Clean up is to lift the foil & throw salt crust, bones & skin away.
