Silver carp in the oven is a simple classic way of baking fish without unnecessary spices. It will appeal to all lovers of fish dishes - both adults and children. The meat is tender, aromatic and very tasty.
The cooking technology is very simple. And the most difficult thing about it is the choice of a quality carcass. To cook a delicious silver carp in the oven, you need to take fresh or chilled fish weighing 2 to 4 kilograms. It has enough fat and no small bones. Eyes should be bright, pink gills and no mucus. The scales are smooth, shiny. When pressed, elasticity is felt, no dents remain. The smell is fishy with an admixture of the aroma of algae and pond. It is important to understand that chilled fish is stored for a very short time, so after purchasing you need to immediately start cooking.
For cooking silver carp in the oven, you can buy frozen, but in this case, you need to carefully look at the expiration date indicated on the package. The most dangerous thing is to take frozen fish by weight, because there are no guarantees that the product is still usable and properly stored. Chunks peeled from scales are best kept. The shelf life in this form is up to 4 months.
Using lemon in fish dishes is a traditional technique. These citrus fruits perfectly refresh the product, its smell and give a slight sourness to the meat. You can use lemon juice for pickling. In our recipe, we suggest taking slices, which, after baking, will not only decorate the appearance of the carcass, but can also be eaten with great pleasure.
For green colors and a bright aroma of baked silver carp, add dill greens. It also goes well with the fish flavor. Of course, at the discretion of the chef, you can take various seasonings. So, rosemary, thyme, garlic, parsley, tarragon, marjoram, cloves, cardamom, bay leaf, nutmeg are well suited. You need to be careful with oriental spices, which are too heavy for fish dishes.
