Preheat the oven, rinse the fish and season inside with lemon juice.  Cut the garlic cloves in half and place inside the fish together with the basil.

Cover the bottom of a fireproof dish with a layer of salt as this as the finger.

Place the fish on top of this and then add enough salt for the fish to be completely covered.  Bake in the oven for 40 minutes.  Now break open the salt crust and carefully remove the fish from it.  Take off its skin and fillet the fish.  Place on preheated plates and serve garnished with lemon and crispy salad of leaves.
