Serves/Makes: 6 - 8

Ingredients:

• 1 whole Arctic char, about 3 pounds, cleaned
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary
• 1/4 bunch fresh chives
• 4 sprigs fresh Italian parsley
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 3 egg whites
• 1/3 cup cold water
• 1 three-pound box kosher salt

How to cook:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Rinse the whole Arctic char under cold water.
• Stuff rosemary, chives, parsley and lemon slices into cavity of whole char.
• Whisk together egg whites and water.
• Add salt and mix well.
• Spread 3 cups of salt mixture along bottom of baking sheet. This layer should be large enough to fit outline of the whole char. Place fish on top.
• Completely cover the whole char with a 1/2-inch layer of salt mixture.
• Bake for 25 minutes or until an internal temperature of 140°F is reached. (Allowing the fish to cool inside the crust will keep it moist, even if you can’t serve it right away.)
• When the fish is ready, break open the salt crust. Skin the fish carefully so the salt doesn't touch the flesh.
• Serve with potatoes, fresh vegetables and warm Bernaise sauce.
