How to make Dorada in salt with escalibada.
- We prepare all the ingredients and pre-heat the oven to two hundred degrees.
- On a baking tray, we place a thick layer of salt (approximately one finger).
- We place under each sea bream a bay leaf and a lemon slice, (Reserve the rest of the lemon).
- Cover the sea breams with a thick layer of salt, which should be very tight, sprinkle the salt with a little water, squeeze the rest of the lemon on top and put it in the oven.
- The time depends on the oven and the size of the sea breams. Normally we can remove them when the salt begins to acquire a brown color. They are usually about 25 or 30 minutes.
- Now comes the most cumbersome part. When it’s done, cover the tray with a clean kitchen towel and hit it with the pestle or a tablespoon until the crust breaks.
- Carefully remove the sea breams, remove their heads and bones and serve.
