Carp baked in foil
Carp baked in foil is a dish that should definitely be cooked! Firstly, the fish languishes in its own juice, so it turns out to be especially tender. Secondly, we suggest adding a very unusual filling to carp steaks, which includes almonds, raisins, garlic and orange peel. It sounds strange, but you will be pleasantly surprised by the result. And thirdly, carp baked in foil is prepared quite simply and practically does not require attention for half an hour, as it spends time in the oven. You just have to unfold the envelopes with fish, put the steaks on the plates and enjoy the wonderful meal.
