How to bake carp in foil? Prepare the indicated ingredients. Take carp in a trusted store and be sure to make sure it is fresh. The weight of my fish is 900 grams. I use dry spices specifically for fish, you can take your favorite spices or give up on them to your liking. You will need 4-6 lobes from fresh lemon. Take salt to taste. Prepare the foil and baking tray/baking dish. Turn on to heat the oven to 180 degrees.

To bake carp, it must be cleaned and gutted. In large stores it is sold already gutted. If the fish is whole, then the insides should be gutted by making a cut along the belly from the tail to the head. The gills should also be removed so that the finished fish does not mustard. Then you should clear the carp of scales - this can be done with a special device for cleaning fish or with the blunt side of a knife. I usually clean the fish in a bag to keep the kitchen clean.

I do not cut off the tail and fins, but at will you can cut them with scissors. Wipe the fish carcass with a towel. In a separate dish, mix the salt and dry spices and rub the mixture over the fish on all sides and inside. Remember that ready-made kits often contain salt. Place the prepared fish on a double layer of foil, and then on a baking sheet or baking dish.

Wash the lemon and cut it into wedges. Place the lemon wedges in the fish carcass. You can also arrange lemon wedges over carp to your liking.

Wrap the prepared fish in foil and place the carp tray in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes (focus on your oven). For a ruddy crust, 10 minutes before cooking, the foil can be removed and baked the remaining time without it.

Carefully remove the baked fish from the oven and remove the foil. Place the carp on a serving platter and garnish to your liking and desire. Serve the baked fish hot. On the side dish offer dishes from vegetables, potatoes, rice. Baked fish in foil turns out to be very juicy, tasty and healthy.
