Ingredients
Scale
- Whole barramundi
- Coarse sea salt
- 2 egg whites
- Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, dill)
- 2 lemon or orange slices
Instructions
- Rinse the barramundi under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Stuff the fish cavity with fresh herbs and citrus slices.
- Mix the coarse sea salt with egg whites in a large bowl until it resembles wet sand.

Notes
Ensure the fish is well-prepared and use enough salt for an even crust.
