Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Stuff the fish cavity with the bay leaves, tarragon, lemon rounds, and peppercorns.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites and water. Add the salt and stir to thoroughly combine, using your hands as necessary.
  4. Fill a baking dish that is just slightly larger than the fish with about 1/3 of the salt mixture. Lay the fish on the salt in the dish and pour the remaining salt over the fish to cover. Bake until an instant read thermometer reaches 135 degrees F, about 40 minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven and gently crack off the layer of salt. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and the roasted potatoes.
  6. Roasted New Potatoes :
  7. 2 pounds small baby new potatoes, scrubbed and patted dry
  8. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  9. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  10. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  11. Chopped fresh parsley leaves
  12. Tomato-Lemon Compote, recipe follows
  13. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  14. In a baking dish, toss the potatoes with the oil, salt and pepper. Roast until tender, 30 to 40 minutes, depending upon the size.
  15. Sprinkle potatoes with parsley. Top potatoes with warm Tomato-Lemon Compote.
  16. Tomato-Lemon Compote:
  17. 2 tablespoons butter
  18. 1 large shallot, minced
  19. 2 large fresh tomatoes, cored and diced
  20. 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  21. 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  22. 1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon leaves
  23. 1/2 teaspoon sugar, or more to taste
  24. Salt and freshly ground pepper
  25. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots, and cook, stirring, until tender, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, and cook until juices evaporate and mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add lemon juice, zest, tarragon, and sugar, and simmer for 1 more minute, or until compote is thick. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add more sugar, to taste, if desired. Cover with foil to keep warm.
