Salt-Baked Fish with Egg White

The method of cooking fish in salt, covering it with egg white and salt, is a very ancient way of preparing food. The egg white and salt give a unique flavor to the dish, where the fish does not become salty; on the contrary, it acquires a rich flavor with the right touch of salt.
