Carp baked in the oven
4 servings
60 minutes
Baked carp is a classic dish of European cuisine, known for its tender, juicy meat and rich aroma. Since ancient times, carp has been considered a royal fish and held an honored place at festive tables. In this recipe, the fish is prepared with aromatic spices, green onions, and dill, giving it a fresh taste with light herbal notes. Baking in foil preserves the juiciness of the flesh, while the final uncovered stage allows for an appetizing golden crust. The dish is perfect for a family dinner or a festive gathering and pairs wonderfully with potatoes, vegetables, or light white wine. Each piece is a harmony of flavor that combines tenderness and spicy richness.
