Sea Bream in Aromatic Crust is a delicious fish main course, ideal for preparing on a special dinner occasion. The fresh sea bream is covered with an aromatic crust of mixed herbs that gives the dish a delightful aroma. This recipe is typical of Mediterranean cuisine and can be accompanied by light and fresh side dishes.
The day before preparation, finely chop the aromatic herbs (consider that you should obtain five or six tablespoons) and mix them with the salt
Let this aromatic salt rest for at least twelve hours, then mix it with the flour, make a well, and break the eggs into it
Mix the ingredients until you obtain a homogeneous dough and let it rest for at least half an hour
In the meantime, remove the fins from the sea bream, scale it, and gut it after making a cut from the head to the anal opening
Wash them under running water and dry them thoroughly, even inside
Divide the salt dough into two pieces and roll them out with a rolling pin to obtain two large ovals about half a cm thick
Place a sea bream in the center of each oval and wrap it with the salt dough, sealing well and trying to maintain the shape of the fish in the wrap
Place the two sea breams on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and put it in the oven preheated to 200 degrees, letting it cook for 40 minutes
Bring them to the table as soon as they come out of the oven, and when serving, make an incision along the entire dough and widen the opening so you can fillet the fish directly inside the wrap
Cooked this way, the fish is particularly tasty and fragrant without the need for additional seasonings, but for those who wish, serve with a side of delicately flavored extra-virgin olive oil
