-
4Weigh your snapper on a scale .
-
5Stuff the inside of the red snapper with a number of lemon slices , fresh parsley and terragon .

6The weight of the mortar should the 1.5x the weight of the dressed fish. 85% kosher salt. For ever 500g of salt we want 1 tablespoon of each dried rosmary , terrragon , oregano . This is mostly for kitchen aroma, it will not effect the flavor of the dish. We want 0.05x the weight of the fish in egg whites, and 10% of the weight of the fish in water. To recap:n salt weight = 1.275 x fish weightn egg white weight = 0.075 x fish weightn water weight = .15 x fish weightn
