In my opinion fish is a much more healthy food than meat. So, I’ve asked myself why I’m not posting about cooking fish? Let’s fix this! Today I want to propose you to cook a whole carp stuffed with vegetables. It’s extremely easy and incredibly tasty, not to mention that you will get a ton of omega-3 fatty acids!

Ingredients

• 1 whole fresh carp (1.8kg here or little over 3lbs);
• ½ cup sunflower or olive oil;
• 1 bunch of dill;
• 1 bunch of parsley;
• 2 onions;
• 1 carrot;
• 1 lemon;

For fish seasoning:

• salt and pepper to taste;

Optional, but recommended fish seasoning mix (garlic powder, basil, dry mustard, ginger, thyme, parsley, rosemary, salt, black pepper, sage, thyme, marjoram, and oregano)

Cooking

*Here I assume that you have your carp scaled and gutted from the store, otherwise you have to do it yourself (yep, that’s life!).

1. Preheat your oven to 175C or 350F.

2. Slice onions into half rings or just chop them. Slice a carrot into any forms you want and slice a lemon into half rings.

3. Rinse the fish in running water and season with salt and pepper or fish seasoning mix (inside and outside).

4. Put dill and parsley into the fish, add sliced onions, carrots and lemon.

5. Take an oven tray, cover it with foil and grease with oil.

6. Make incisions to the center of the fish and put lemon slices into them.

7. Put your carp onto the tray and put the tray into the oven for an hour.

Serve the carp with roasted potatoes, crispy bread, white wine or beer (or whatever works with your diet).
