A salt crust is a method of cooking by completely covering an ingredient, such as fish, chicken or vegetables, in salt before baking. The salt layer acts as insulation, helping the food cook evenly and gently; after baking, the crust is cracked open and discarded, revealing food that is moist and evenly cooked.
