Ingredients

1 sea bass, about 2.2 lb cleaned and scaled

1 sprig each of fresh fennel, rosemary, and thyme

Mixed peppercorns

4.5 lb coarse sea salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 475oF. Fill the cavity of the fish with the sprigs of fresh fennel, rosemary, and thyme, and grind over some of the mixed peppercorns.

Spread half the salt on a shallow cookie sheet (ideally oval) and lay the sea bass on it. Cover the fish all over with a 1/2 inch layer of salt, pressing it down firmly. Moisten the salt lightly by spraying with water from an atomizer. bake the fish for 30-40 minutes, until the salt crust is just beginning to color.

Bring the sea bass to the table in its salt crust. Use a sharp knife to break open the crust and cut into four portions.

Serve.
