Now deal with the carp. I have fresh carp, so there's no need to thaw it. Remove the head (you can leave it if desired), cut off the fins, scale the fish, and clean out the abdominal cavity. Rinse the fish thoroughly on all sides with cool water.

Then tightly stuff the fish's belly with the fried onion and carrot mixture, adding finely chopped dill (you can mix the dill with the sautéed vegetables beforehand). Make thin slits in the fish with a sharp knife and insert thin slices of lemon and tomato into them. Transfer the carp to a baking dish. My carp is already in the dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30–35 minutes.
