Seattle Snapper Dome

I was visiting Seattle this summer and decided that this should be the year that actually bought fish from Pike Place Market. Since the Snapper Dome from EveryDayCook looked like something I could make in a rented Airbnb kitchen, I went hunting red snapper there (also huckleberry tea, but that's not for this project).

Stuffed Fish

Have you ever used an entire box of salt in one recipe? If you want to, this is the recipe for it. The technique is actually pretty simple. Make a salt crust. Lay a fish stuffed with some lemon and parsley on it. Cover the fish. Bake.

I failed to get pretty fillets of fish to come out, but there were no complaints (even with the occasional pin bone). To the big "is it salty?" question, the answer is no. Granted, I didn't try to eat the skin the salt was sitting on.

No points for plating, but no one cares when it tastes good.

Difficulty Level: Easy
Will It Get Made Again? I'd be tempted to try this again with a deboned fish. The skin just  peeled off, and the texture and flavor were great. But I hate picking pin bones out of fish...
