Ingredients

3 cups coarse salt, or gros sel de mer

6 fresh oysters, top shells discarded

2 tablespoons fine breadcrumbs

1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spread salt in a shallow baking dish. Nestle oysters in their bottom shells in the salt.
