SEA BREAM (OR SEA BASS) COOKED IN SALT

Second course - vegetarian

8 cups coarse salt
1 whole Sea Bream about 2 - 2 1/2 lbs.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Pepper (optional)

Heat oven at 475F.
Pour half salt in a baking dish, place fish on top and cover with the remaining salt.
Bake for 40 minutes.
Remove from ove, gently crack the crust and transfer the fish to a serving dish, brushing off all the salt.
Open the fish, remove the fishbone, drizzle with a good extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with pepper (if you want).
Serve it with roasted potatoes or toasted bread brushed with garlic (bruschetta-style) and a fresh green salad; in this way you'll have a complete meal.

If you carefully brush away the salt, the fish will result perfectly seasoned.
