Instructions
Preheat oven to 180ºC. Clean the fish thoroughly and then rub a little salt into the skin. Put the fish on a rack in the oven and leave for 15 minutes.
Turn the oven off, leaving the fish in place. The next day, repeat the process and again the next day also.
The fish is now ready, and can be stored in the pantry ready to be used in dishes for the next week or more.
The same process can be used for chicken.
Note
Esther uses snapper but any fish will do.
