Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by cleaning the whole fish under cold running water. Pat it dry with paper towels, then rub kosher salt all over the fish.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the salt-coated fish for 25-30 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork.
  3. While the fish is baking, slice bell peppers and sweet onion into thin strips. Mince garlic.
  4. In a small saucepan, heat vinegar with your choice of spices until simmering. Pour over the sliced veggies and let soak for at least 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the fish from the oven, break the salt crust, and serve immediately with the escovitch vegetables on the side.
