Preheat oven to 400°F. Shuck clams, reserving liquid. Remove clam
and cut into 3 pieces. Place back on one side of shell. Saute bacon until slightly crisp.
Drain and crumble. In a small bowl, mix together bacon and remaining ingredients. Place about
1 teaspoon of mixture on each clam. Spread a layer of rock salt 1/2 inch deep on a baking
sheet. Mold clams into rock salt and bake for about 10 minutes. Garnish and serve hot.
Microwave:
Open clams (8 at a time) by microwaving on low for 3 minutes. Place
rock salt on a microwave dish and arrange 8 prepared clams on rock salt. Microwave 8 at a time
on high for 3 minutes. Garnish and serve hot.
