How to cook carp deliciously and preserve all its useful properties? It's not an easy question, but there is a solution! It is enough to bake it properly. Every housewife should know how to bake carp, because this dish can decorate any holiday table or simply become a he althy dinner for the whole family. Let's take a look at a couple of recipes. How to cook carp in the oven?

Recipe 1

We will need:

• one whole carp;
• two lemons;
• a jar of olives;
• olive oil;
• fresh marjoram and basil;
• s alt, pepper.

This recipe is typical of Mediterranean cuisine with its love of everything fresh and natural. First you need to thoroughly rinse the carp, clean it from scales, gut, rinse again and pat dry with a paper towel so that no excess moisture remains. Before baking carp, it must be marinated. To do this, in a deep bowl, mix olive oil, juice of two lemons, finely chopped marjoram and basil. Add s alt and pepper to taste. Dip the carp in the marinade and leave the dish in the refrigerator for three hours. After that, preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Marinated carp stuffed with olives andwrap in foil, but not too tightly, but so that a little air remains inside. Bake carp for 40-45 minutes and serve immediately from the oven. The best side dish for such a carp would be jacket potatoes or coarse wheat pasta, as well as a salad of fresh vegetables with olive oil and feta cheese. Make a great Mediterranean-style dinner!

Recipe 2

For this recipe we need:

• one whole carp;
• one lemon;
• bunch of parsley and dill;
• two cloves of garlic;
• vegetable oil;
• a jar of sour cream 200 gr;
• one carrot;
• one bulb;
• s alt and pepper.

This recipe is more familiar to our mid-latitudes, but it has an unusual flavor combination, and therefore it will definitely appeal to housewives who like to experiment in the kitchen. In this case, you need to bake carp in the sleeve, and marinate again before starting. For the marinade, mix vegetable oil, squeezed garlic, finely chopped greens, juice of one lemon, s alt and pepper, add to taste. We leave the carp in this marinade for four hours in the refrigerator. Now let's prepare an unusual vegetable sauce for the fish. To do this, finely chop the onion, fry it until golden brown in a small amount of oil. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater and add to the browned onion. And then add 200 grams of sour cream to the vegetables, after which we leave to stew over low heat for no more than 5 minutes. Marinated carpput it in a baking sleeve, pour sour cream sauce there, tightly tie the sleeve and shake its contents several times. Bake carp at 200 degrees for about half an hour. The best side dish for such an appetizing dish would be rice or buckwheat porridge. Bon appetit!

And finally, I want to give some useful tips:

• When choosing a carp, pay special attention to the gills (they should be bright red) and the eyes of the fish, which cannot be cloudy or whitened. It is also important that the scales are smooth and free of mucus.
• If cooking carp for a child, then separate all the bones in advance, because the baby can easily choke.
• Never serve river fish half-baked, as it, unlike sea fish, may contain parasites.
