Introduction

Roasted carp is a classic recipe, full of flavor and tradition, reminiscent of family dinners and days spent by the water. This simple, yet particularly tasty recipe will transform your kitchen into a place full of flavor and fun. As well as being quick to prepare, the fried pork can be served with a variety of toppings, but the combination of mămăligligla and garlic mujdei is undoubtedly one of the most popular.

Ingredients

To prepare this delicious roasted caraway, you will need the following ingredients:

- 4 pieces of fresh king mackerel (about 1 kg in total)
- Flour - enough to coat the fish
- Salt - to taste
- Frying oil - enough to cover the bottom of the pan

Helpful hints for ingredients

When choosing your mackerel, look for fish with firm, white flesh and a fresh watery smell. If you get the chance, opt for fresh-caught mackerel. If not, you can also use frozen, but make sure you thaw it thoroughly before cooking. Flour should be regular flour, but experiment with corn flour for a crispier crust.

Preparation steps

1. Preparing the fish: Rinse the pieces of mackerel well under cold running water. Make sure to remove all impurities. After washing the fish, sprinkle salt on each piece, inside and out. Refrigerate for about an hour. This step is essential as the salt will help to intensify the flavor and contribute to a better texture.

2. Remove excess water: After sitting in the refrigerator, remove the fish and pat dry with a clean dish towel. It's important to dry the pieces of fish thoroughly to get a crispy crust when frying.

3. Dusting in flour: Now dredge each piece of caraway in flour, making sure it is evenly coated. This will help to get a golden, crispy crust that will retain the juiciness of the fish.

4. Frying the fish: In a large frying pan, add the oil and heat thoroughly. Test the oil temperature by adding a small amount of flour; if it starts to sizzle, the oil is ready. Place the pieces of fish in the hot oil, taking care not to crowd the pan. Fry the fish for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

5. Finalizing the dish: Once the fish is fried, remove it to a paper towel-lined platter to absorb excess oil. Let it rest for a few minutes.

Serving suggestions

Roasted mackerel is delicious served with warm porridge and garlic mujala. This combination not only enhances the flavors but also provides a touch of comfort. You can also add a fresh tomato and cucumber salad for a refreshing contrast.

Variations and suggestions

If you want to experiment, you can add spices to the flour, such as paprika, black pepper or herbs. You can also try marinating the fish in the juice of a lemon and a little olive oil for 30 minutes before frying.

Nutritional benefits

Because carp is an excellent source of protein, omega-3 and essential vitamins, it's a healthy choice for a balanced meal. This dish can be included in your diet thanks to its low calorie content, especially if served with healthy side dishes.
