Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Place the chopped lemon pieces into the fish cavity and score the skin with a knife.

Combine egg whites and salt in a bowl and mix well.

Spread one third of the salt mixture onto a lined baking tray.

Place the fish on the salt layer and cover completely with the remaining mixture.

Bake for 35 minutes until the fish is cooked through.

Remove the hard salt crust and drizzle the fish with lemon juice.

Serve with roasted vegetables and chestnuts.
