Ingredients
- Whole Bass defrosted, cleaned and gutted but scales left on
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Pearl Salt
- Rosemary
- 8 Eggs Lemon
Separate your egg whites and retain the yolks for later use. Place the whites in a mixer and whisk until light and fluffy and forming soft peaks.
In a large mixing bowl add the zest of a lemon and chopped rosemary before adding the salt. You need enough salt to encase your entire fish and it must be Pearl salt. Fold through your beaten egg whites.
Layer a deep pan with parchment paper and form a base of your salt mix.
Stuff your fish with Rosemary, salt and pepper, a slice of lemon and finely chopped garlic before laying on your salt base. Encase the entire fish within the remaining salt mixture.
Place the encased fish into the Traeger at 450°F for around 60 minutes.
