Preparation
Wash the fish and pat until dry, cut out the gills. Stuff the belly with the herb stems and slices of lime. Mix the salt with the egg whites, lime zest, green tea and chopped herbs. Line a baking try with baking paper. On the baking paper, form a base from the salt mixture in the shape of the fish and place the fish on it. Completely cover with the remaining salt. Place in a preheated oven and bake with hot air at 200 °C for 15 minutes. The temperature inside the fish should be approximately 57 °C. Take the fish out of the oven and leave to stand for 5–10 minutes. Break open the salt crust and fillet the fish.
