Step-by-step cooking of carp in foil in a sauce on a steam bath, recipe with photo:
1. If you have a whole carp carcass, peel it from the scales, remove the entrails, wash and cut into portioned steaks, which are dried with a paper towel.
For the marinade, combine soy sauce, mustard, fish seasoning, a pinch of salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir the sauce well.
2. Place prepared fish steak on a piece of food foil.
3. Drizzle over a richly cooked sauce. Add any vegetable chunks to the fish, if desired.
4. Wrap the steaks in cling foil so that they are well sealed on all sides.
5. Send the fish wrapped in foil to a colander, which is placed in a pot of boiling water. Cover the carcasses with a lid and simmer the carp in the foil in the sauce on the steam bath at a moderate boil. Make sure that the boiling water does not come into contact with the colander, because the fish should be steamed. If you have a double boiler, cook the carp in it.
Serve the finished dish to the table directly in foil, because unfolding the fish, juice will collect in it, in which it will be tasty to dip the pieces of fish.
