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 and helps cook the food in an even and gentle manner. After baking, the salt crust is cracked and discarded, revealing the moist and evenly cooked food.
