Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake carp in foil? Prepare the following ingredients. Buy carp from a trusted store and be sure to make sure it is fresh. The weight of my fish is 1.5 kg. You will need about 5 slices from a fresh lemon. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Prepare foil and a baking tray. Turn on the oven to preheat to 180 degrees.

Step 2

Step 2
To bake carp, you need to clean and gut it. I bought already cleaned fish. If you have a whole fish, then you should gut the insides by making a cut along the belly from the tail to the head. You should also be sure to remove the gills so that the finished fish does not taste bitter. Then you should remove the scales from the carp using a special fish cleaning device or the blunt side of a knife. To keep your kitchen clean, clean your fish in a bag.

Step 3

Step 3
Place the cleaned fish on a double layer of foil and then on a baking sheet or baking dish. Salt and pepper the fish on all sides and inside. Place sprigs of fresh dill, washed and dried with a paper towel, into the belly. Wash the lemon and cut into thin slices. Arrange it to your liking on top of the carp. Drizzle the top of the carp with olive oil.

Step 4

Step 4
Wrap the prepared fish in foil and place the baking sheet in a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes (depend on your oven). To create a golden brown crust, you can remove the foil 10 minutes before cooking and bake for the remaining time without it.

Step 5

Step 5
Carefully remove the baked fish from the oven and remove the foil. Place the carp on a serving plate and decorate according to your taste and desire. Serve the baked fish hot. As a side dish, offer rice and potatoes (I baked them in foil). Baked fish turns out very juicy, tasty and healthy.
