Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- In a large roasting pan or sheet pan (larger than the fish) line with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the salt, dried thyme and egg whites with your hands. It should be the consistency of a chunky paste. It won't be too wet and that is perfect. Set aside.
- Remove the fish from the refrigerator and, if it hasn't been done at the market, scale the fish. Gut the fish (again, preferably done at the market) and remove the gills with kitchen shears. We recommend requesting this at the market before buying to make your life easier.
- Cut the dorsal and pectoral fins and any other that is spiny or might stab you when you are ready to eat.
- Stuff the fish cavity with the lemon slices, tarragon and rosemary. Place the fish on the parchment lined sheet pan.
- Put the salt mixture on the fish and press it down forming a seal that is about ¼ inch thick around the entire fish. There should be no gaps or cracks and the fish should not be visible.
- Put the fish in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Some of the salt mixture may turn a light brown and the salt dome will be quite hard when finished.
- While the fish roasts, prepare the sauce. Combine the wine, peppercorns and shallot in a small sauce pan over medium. Bring to a gentle boil and reduce the liquid by half.
- Once the liquid has reduced by half, strain the solids through a sieve and return the strained sauce to the pan. Add the lemon juice and reduce to about 2 tablespoons of liquid. Once reduced, keep warm on low until your fish is ready.
- Once your fish is ready and removed from the oven, set it aside while you finish the sauce.
- To finish the sauce, remove the pan from the heat completely and let cool for a minute or two. You do not want the pan to be hot, but only warm so the sauce doesn't break. Whisk in the butter one piece at a time, emulsifying the mixture. If your butter isn't easily melting, you may need to return the pan to the burner (on low) briefly for about 30 seconds, but don't let your sauce get too hot during this process.
- Once all the butter has been incorporated, you are ready to plate your dish.
- To serve the fish, use a serving spoon to crack the salt dome and remove it from the fish. You want to have enough room to remove the fillets from the Branzino. With a sharp knife, slice the fish through skin at the end of the tail all the way to the bone. You can use your fingers, a knife, a spoon or a spatula to remove the skin from the tail toward the head. The skin should come off very easily without any effort.
- Using the spoon, slide the spoon along the spine toward the head of the fish where the fillet stops. Remove to a clean plate. Gently flip the fish over and repeat to remove the opposite fillet. Serve with the lemon beurre blanc drizzled over the top with extra on the side as desired.

BRANZINO MEDITERRANEAN
This simple, healthy, and delicious Mediterranean fish, also known as 'Greek Sea Bass', should be cooked whole. The cavity of the fish can be stuffed with lemon and other ingredients for added flavor. It is a very mild-tasting and versatile fish. The oregano and lemon make it truly Greek cuisine that many will enjoy. Can be found wild-caught in many stores. Enjoy!

Steps:

- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Clean and dry the branzino. In a bowl, mix egg whites, flour, sea salt, and the aromatic herbs, creating a smooth mixture. Line the bottom of a baking pan with the parchment paper. Place the branzino onto the parchment paper. Cover the entire branzino (top and all sides but not the bottom) with the sea salt mixture.
- Bake for 20 minutes, and then remove from oven. While the fish is still in the baking pan, crack open the sea salt case, push it to the side, then fillet. Place the branzino fillets onto a plate. Serve with vinaigrette sauce on the side, steamed vegetables and plain mashed potatoes.
- Combine all herbs.

- 1. Preheat oven to 350oF. Trim off the tail end of the fish, if necessary, to the length of the gratin dish.
- 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the salt and egg whites and mix with your hands until the combination has the feel of wet sand. To ensure that you have added the right amount of egg whites, grab a handful of the mixture, squeeze it, then let it go. It should fall back into the large bowl without any of it sticking to your hand. If it sticks to your hand, incorporate more egg white.
- 3. Overlap, or “shingle,” the lemon slices, then add the lemon and the fennel into the fish’s cavity until the branzino assumes its natural shape. Pack the gratin dish or oval roaster with a 1/3-inch-thick layer of the salt-egg white mixture. Place fish on the bed of salt-egg white mixture, and cover it with more of the mixture, gently patting it down into an even 1⁄2-inch layer that envelopes the fish. Fill in any cracks in the salt crust. Transfer the gratin dish or oval roaster to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the fish from the oven when a thermometer inserted through the crust into the thickest part of the fish registers 125°F.
- 4. After removing the fish from the oven, let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes but not longer. Use a serrated knife to slice around the circumference of the crust, carefully avoiding cutting into the fish. Lift the salt crust off. Transfer the fish onto a kitchen towel placed on the cutting board. Dust off any residual salt from the fish and cutting board. Transfer the fish onto two layers of paper towels on the cutting board to allow for ease of maneuvering the fish.
