Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes

Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 1500 gram Wheat Flour
  • 2000 gram Salt fine
  • 400 gram egg white equivalent to about 10 pieces
  • Water
  • 1 pcs. Turbot mine was large - about 2.5 kg
  • Herbs fresh, e.g., parsley, rosemary, lovage, and thyme

Instructions

    1. Put flour, salt, and egg whites in a bowl and mix them together.
    2. Add a little water while stirring everything together until the dough combines.
    3. Turn the dough out onto the table and knead it until it becomes pliable.
    4. Divide the dough in two and roll out two equally sized round pieces. Size-wise, they should fit the turbot plus about five centimeters.
    5. Remove the head from the turbot (I used it for my sauce) and the innards.
    6. Rinse the fish well inside and place it on top of one piece of dough.
    7. Place fresh herbs on top of the fish. Use the herbs you think make sense. I used a mixture of parsley, rosemary, lovage, and thyme, equivalent to about 3 whole bunches.Salt-crusted turbot
