Carp in the oven

Description

The recipe won't take much time. It's quite simple, but the carp baked this way in the oven turns out incredibly tender! Carp is a fish with a specific odor, and there are a few tricks: to remove the muddy smell, soak the fish in milk for 20–30 minutes. If you're baking the fish whole, you can place dill inside the cavity—it absorbs unpleasant odors. Roasted potatoes and vegetables make a perfect side dish. Serve hot.
