Fish in salt crust

Luxurious foods are, practically by definition, extremely expensive. Except for gravlax. For the price of a fresh piece of salmon, you can cure your own gravlax at home, then slice it and serve it as one of the most elegant hors d'oeuvres or light appetizers imaginable. In this recipe, we cure the salmon with sugar and salt, caraway, coriander, and dill, then serve it with a tangy mustard-dill sauce.

This technique for Whole Fish Baked in Salt Crust has been on my to-try list for ages. I wish I had a good reason for putting it off so long, but we're making up for lost time.

There are few things more impressive than preparing a whole fish, but crust that fish in salt and crack it open at the dinner table - and you've got serious wow factor.
