BAKED FISH IN KOSHER SALT

     3 to 4 lb whole fish, with scales but cleaned inside 
     4 lb kosher salt 
     Juice of 1 lemon 

SAUCE:

     1/2 cup butter or olive oil 
     2 T chopped parsley 
     Juice of 1 lemon 
     Capers, optional 
     Salt and pepper to taste 

Wash fish with with lemon. Place half the salt in a baking dish, just big enough to hold the fish. Place
fish on top. Cover fish completely with the rest of the salt. Bake in pre-heated 400 degrees oven for
45 minutes. The salt will harden and make a crust. Once cooked remove the crust and the skin
should come off.

SAUCE: Melt butter. Add rest of ingredients.

NOTE: In spite of all the salt in the recipe it does not become salty, but moist and tasty.
