Carp baked in the oven with vegetables

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake carp in the oven with vegetables? Prepare all the products listed in the recipe according to the list. Fish can be taken frozen or it is better to use freshly caught. If you have frozen carp, then take it out of the freezer in advance and leave it at room temperature until it is completely defrosted.

2. Step 2:

   

   Peel the fish from the scales, gut and remove the gills. Peel the potatoes, a couple of garlic cloves and onions. Cut the bell pepper lengthwise into two parts, remove the core and seeds. Wash fish and all vegetables in clean cold water and dry with paper napkins to get rid of excess moisture.

3. Step 3:

   

   Rinse the lemon. Cut half of the citrus into thin slices.

4. Step 4:

   

   In a deep small container, mix vegetable or olive oil, a couple of garlic cloves passed through a press, salt to taste, a mixture of ground peppers and dry herbs. Squeeze out the remaining half of the lemon.

5. Step 5:

   

   Cut potatoes and bell peppers into small thin cubes, onion slices. For the brightness of the finished dish, use red salad onions if possible.

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour half of the dressing over the chopped vegetables and mix everything thoroughly.

8. Step 7:

   

   Coat the underside of the fish with marinade using a silicone brush. Fill the belly of the carp with onions, lemon, tomatoes and lightly salt the vegetables.

9. Step 8:

   

   Cover the baking dish with parchment paper. To prepare carp with vegetables, it is better to use a wide sheet so that vegetables and fish can be distributed in one layer. Put the potatoes, onions, bell peppers and tomatoes on a leaf, lay the carp in the middle. Make incisions on the carcass, as in the photo.

10. Step 9:

    

    Insert half a slice of lemon into each incision. Wash the garlic head, dry it and cut it in half. Send it to a baking sheet. Coat the carp and garlic with the remaining marinade.

11. Step 10:

    

    If desired, you can sprinkle a small amount of sweet or smoked ground pepper on top of the fish.

12. Step 11:

    

    Send the carp with vegetables to a preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes. The baking time and temperature may vary depending on the capabilities of your oven. I used the "top-bottom" mode, set the temperature to 220 degrees and baked for 40 minutes.

    Done, you can serve! Very tasty in hot and cold form.
