Carp baked in the oven - recipes whole, in pieces, in foil, stuffed

When they say they don’t like this fish, I always answer with the common phrase: “you just don’t know how to cook it.” Baking carp in the oven for dinner is a nice thing to do, because there are few bones in it, the meat is dense, and the dishes cook incredibly quickly. The fish always turns out juicy, and the smell of mud can be neutralized with lemon, onions, and seasonings.

To preserve its juiciness, carp is usually cooked in foil or hidden in a cooking sleeve. In the hands of a skilled chef, healthy fish dishes turn out indescribably tasty and original. All the proposed recipes for carp baked in the oven have been tested more than once. but each of them can be approached creatively, individually, by adding or removing some ingredients. Baking time depends on the size of the carcass and the weight of the fish. For example, a carp weighing one and a half kilograms takes at least 40-50 minutes to cook.

Whole carp in the oven in foil - recipe with lemon and onion

The simplest variation of cooking whole fish, almost classic. It turns out very juicy, aromatic, incredibly tasty.

Required:

• Carp - carcass 1-1.2 kg.
• Lemon – ½ part.
• Onion – 1-2 heads.
• Parsley - a few sprigs.
• Dried garlic - a pinch.
• Salt pepper.
• A piece of butter - optional.

Step by step recipe:

Start preparing for baking by cutting up the fish carcass. You don’t have to cut off the head, but be sure to remove the gill part. Leave the fins as we will cook them whole. If the oven is small, remove the tail section.

Gut it thoroughly, remembering to remove the black film inside the belly. Rinse the carcass thoroughly and dry with a paper towel.

Cut the onion heads into thin rings.

Cut half a lemon in the same way, very thinly.

Rub the fish carcass with salt inside and out, and sprinkle some pepper on top.

Place foil on a baking sheet, folding the sheet twice, or better yet, three times, since carp gives a lot of juice when baked. Make a pillow of onion and lemon rings.

Place the fish on top. Stuff the belly with lemon and onion. If you want, add a piece of butter.

Insert a bunch of parsley directly into the sprigs.

Place the onion and lemon along the ridge, along the entire length of the fish.

Pepper and salt the carp again.

Wrap the carcass in foil, making sure that there are no holes through which the juice will leak out.

Bake by placing on the middle level of the oven, preheated to 180-200 o C (depending on the power of your oven). Baking time for a carcass of 1-1.2 kg. approximately 30 minutes. For larger fish, be sure to increase the time.

Shortly before the timer signal, open the foil and keep the fish in the oven for another 5-7 minutes so that the top of the carp is browned. But this is optional, sometimes I don’t want to do this so that there is more juice.

Carp is loved and respected in many countries, but it is prepared in different ways, sometimes in very interesting ways. In France, fish is baked with sorrel. In neighboring Austria they stuff it with anchovies and serve it in a sauce made from vegetables and bacon. Hungarians love carp stewed in wine with vegetables and always served with croutons. In Germany, where everyone loves beer at the genetic level, fish is stewed in a foamy drink, adding butter and roots.
