Prepare a mixture of fine salt and coarse salt in a bowl.

Add chopped sage, rosemary, garlic, thyme, and parsley to the salt mixture.

Place the fish on a baking tray and cover it with the salt mixture, ensuring it's well coated.

Drizzle a little oil over the fish.

Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form and spread them over the salt crust.
