Preparation

Pour the rock salt into a large clay pot. Arrange the star anise and cassia over the salt, and then sit the fish on top.

Cover the pot and place over a medium–low heat. Cook for 20–25 minutes, or until the flesh flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Meanwhile, combine the lemon dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix until combined.

Remove the fish from the pot and place on a serving platter. To serve, peel off the scales and skin and dip the flesh into the dipping sauce.

Hot Tips

Baking bread

If you want to make Afghan or other naan-style breads and don’t have a traditional clay tannur or wood-fired oven, try using a wide pizza stone placed in the bottom of a cold oven, then turn the oven on to maximum heat. Electric pizza ovens, available from homeware stores, will do the job too.

Glossary

Manchego

Made from ewe's milk, it is a Spanish cheese that originated in La Mancha. The cheese is very fatty and firm to the touch.
