Cooking tips
1, the meat quality of fish is fine and firm, and the water content of fish can be well preserved by salt roasting. When the shell of salt baking is opened, you can see the juice and steam gushing out together, which is also a pleasure. If you don't want to use sea bass, you can use other fish with tender meat and no smell instead.
2. The proportion of aromatic materials can be increased or decreased according to personal preference.
3. This recipe uses whole egg liquid to spread the dough, and egg yolk can also be used.
4. In order to prevent the dough from sticking to the workbench, we can also refer to the practice of brine chicken. When rolling, put a piece of baking paper under it and wrap it in paper directly after rolling.
5. The salted fish skin is too salty to eat. It is recommended to eat only fish.
