Silver carp baked in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake silver carp in the oven without foil? Choose medium-sized fish (less than 2 kg). Such silver carp will be tastier than too big one. In addition, for a large one you will still need to find a suitable baking dish. It is advisable to buy live fresh fish, since it is difficult to judge freshness and quality from frozen fish. Silver carp should have clear eyes and a neutral odor. Take sour cream with a fat content of at least 20%, onions - a juicier variety.

2. STEP 2

   

   If the silver carp is frozen, defrost it in advance. To do this, place it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator 6 hours before cooking. If not properly defrosted, cooked fish may become dry. Remove the scales and remove the entrails from the fish. Cut off the head and fins. Then rinse the silver carp well in running water. Dry with paper towels to remove unnecessary moisture. Make 4 cuts on the sides.

3. STEP 3

   

   Rub the silver carp first with salt on all sides and inside, then with spices. I recommend not to overdo it with spices, so as not to overwhelm the taste of the fish.

4. STEP 4

   

   Turn on the oven to preheat to 180 degrees on the “bottom” mode. Rinse the lemon well under running water. Cut 8 very thin half rings. Peel and rinse the garlic and onions. Cut the onion into thin half rings so that it cooks faster. Cut the garlic lengthwise into 3-4 slices.

5. STEP 5

   

   Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon slices into a small, deep container. Add butter, sour cream and mustard to lemon juice. Mix everything well.

6. STEP 6

   

   Lubricate the silver carp inside and out with the resulting sauce. Place garlic, onion, sprigs of dill and rosemary in the belly.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the silver carp on a greased baking sheet. Insert a slice of lemon and onion into the slits on the sides. If necessary, brush the sauce on top of the fish. Bake in a preheated oven for the first 15 minutes using the “bottom” mode, then turn on the “top-bottom” mode and keep until the fish is browned on top.

Silver carp baked in the oven is a very simple and quick recipe. Baked fish is not only tasty, but also healthy. I bought a 1.2 kg silver carp, cleaned it, gutted it, left the head rather for beauty, but forgot to trim the fins) I advise you to clean the fish in the bathtub or outside, I stained the whole kitchen with scales. During cleaning, it flies in different directions, then it is difficult to wash. I made the cuts as described in the recipe. I rubbed the fish outside, inside and in the cuts with salt, pepper and fish seasoning. What would a fish be like without a lemon? Be sure to stick a lemon into the cuts. Then I coated it with sauce and placed it on a baking sheet. My fish did not fit into any form) I baked it in the oven for 45 minutes at 180 C. The aroma is stunning! Silver carp baked in the oven is very appetizing, beautiful and tasty. The fish meat is white, tender, soft and juicy. There are not many bones in silver carp. Served silver carp with vegetables. Amazing recipe! Thanks to the author!

Good afternoon everyone! For lunch I decided to cook silver carp baked in the oven. I took fresh fish, cut it up and cleaned it of scales. I decided to leave the head, since my family likes to “tinker” with it. I mixed sour cream and ready-made mustard in a bowl, and added dry spices. I rubbed the fish with salt and added chopped onion, garlic and a sprig of fresh aromatic rosemary inside. Cover the fish with the resulting sauce, place it on foil and put it in the oven until cooked and golden brown. The baked silver carp according to this recipe turned out very tasty, juicy and appetizing! The sour cream and mustard sauce perfectly complemented the taste of the fish. Thanks to the author for the recipe, I recommend everyone to try this recipe!

I had just washed the entire work surface in the kitchen until it was shiny when I began to crave fresh fish. I love fried fish, but I was so sorry for the effort spent on cleaning... I think everyone who has fried fish understands what I’m talking about. And then, by the way, a recipe for silver carp baked in the oven caught my eye. The fish turned out to be finger-licking good! And how could it be different when they coated it with a delicious marinade, added spices, herbs and garlic, garnished with lemon... Ropotushka, thank you very much! I'm not particularly fond of silver carp, but your version is really cool.
