Carp fillet

To prepare a delicious baked carp fillet, we start by salting the fish pieces well, ensuring that the salt is evenly distributed over the entire surface. This will help enhance the flavor and contribute to achieving a succulent texture. Once we have salted the fish, we carefully place it in a baking tray, previously prepared with a little oil to prevent sticking.

The next step involves the onion. We take a medium onion, which we slice thinly. Blanching the onion is essential, as it will become sweeter and more aromatic, adding extra flavor to the dish. In a pot, we bring water to a boil, and once it is boiling, we add the onion slices. We let them boil for about 2-3 minutes, then remove and drain them.

Next, we take care of the bell pepper. We take a red or green bell pepper, depending on our preference, and cut it into small cubes. This will not only add a vibrant color but also a fresh taste to our dish. We can also add some chopped parsley or dill, according to preference. The herbs will provide a special aroma, perfectly complementing the fish.

Once we have all the ingredients prepared, we turn our attention to the tomato paste. In a small bowl, we dilute the tomato paste with a little warm water, mixing well to achieve a uniform consistency. This mixture will be evenly poured over the fish in the tray, ensuring that each piece of carp is covered with a delicious sauce.

On top of the salted fish, we add the blanched onion, the bell pepper cubes, and the chopped herbs, distributing them evenly. We preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, and once it reaches the desired temperature, we place the tray in the oven. We let the dish bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the fish becomes tender and flakes easily with a fork.

After the baking time has passed, we remove the tray from the oven and let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. This baked carp fillet can be served alongside a side of boiled potatoes or a fresh salad, making it a healthy and tasty choice for any meal. Bon appétit!
