Instructions
 

Method for the Dough:

  • Sieve the flour into a mixing bowl.  
  • Add the rock salt, rosemary, thyme and eggs with half a cup of water.  
  • Mix until a stiff dough is formed with the remainder of the water.
  • Roll out the dough to get enough to wrap the fish.

Method for the Fish:

  • Ask your butcher to remove the fillets from the onaga keeping the skin on.  
  • Saute the spinach with garlic and 3 tablespoons of olive oil.  
  • Season to taste and cool in the refrigerator for a few minutes.  
  • Put the ti leaves on the dough to protect the fish from the salt (the top of the fish will be protected by the skin).  
  • Arrange the spinach on the ti leaves with the two filets skin up (laying side by side) on the top of spinach.  
  • Wrap the onaga in the rock salt dough and shape the dough like a fish.
  •  Bake in the oven for 25 minutes at 375 degrees.

Method for the sauce:

  • In a sauce pan saute the shallots in olive oil for a few minutes. (Do not color the shallots)
  • Add the garlic and white wine, and reduce to half.  
  • Add all the other ingredients.  
  • Finish with olive oil.  
  • Season to taste.

How To Serve:

  • At tableside cut the crust lengthwise, removing only the top of the crust. (Extra caution should be taken so that no salt crystals fall onto the fish).  
  • Remove the skin from the fish.
  • On individual plates, place the spinach on top of the fish and arrange the sauce around the fish.
