Baked Sea Bass In Herbed Salt Crust

Third-order issues are doctrines over which Christians may disagree and remain in close fellowship, even within local congregations. I would put most debates over eschatology, for example, in this category. Christians who affirm the bodily, historical, and victorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ may differ over timetable and sequence without rupturing the fellowship of the church… Christians should never separate from a church over third-order issues.

INSTRUCTIONS

Rinse sea bass under cold water and pat dry inside and out. Sprinkle
cavity of bass with 1/2 teaspoon tarragon and pepper.  With a sharp
knife trim ends of lemon to expose flesh and, standing  lemon on one
end, cut from top to bottom to remove peel and pitch.  Cut lemon
crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange in cavity.  Preheat
oven to 450F. and lightly oil a baking pan.  In a bowl, whisk together
remaining 2 tablespoons tarragon, coarse  salt, and flour. Stir in 1
cup warm water plus additional as  necessary to form a slightly stiff
paste (paste should resemble wet  sand).  Arrange bass in oiled pan.
Coat top of bass completely with half of  salt mixture, patting it on,
and turn bass over. Coat other side in  same manner (bass should be
completely covered).  Bake bass in middle of oven 30 minutes. Crack
salt crust with a sharp  knife or hammer and remove top crust,
discarding it. To serve,lift  bass in pieces off bones and discard
bones. Lift out remaining bass.  Serve bass with lemon wedges.  Serves
