Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake whole silver carp in the oven in foil? Prepare the necessary ingredients. If the fish was frozen, first defrost it by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator — this way the process will be as delicate as possible. Rinse vegetables and herbs and dry.

About 10 minutes before it’s ready, you can unroll the foil so that the fish browns a little on top. Serve the dish, garnished with herbs. Bon appetit!
