Cooking baked crucian carp in sour cream sauce
1. Scrape the fish with a scraper to remove all the scales. Cut open the belly and remove all entrails. Be sure to cut out the gills as they impart an unpleasant aroma and taste. Rinse the carcass under running water and wipe dry with a paper towel. Use a sharp knife to make cross-shaped cuts on both sides so that the sauce penetrates the fish better. Select the size of a baking sheet and place the prepared carp on it. Optionally, for safety reasons, you can grease the baking sheet with a very thin layer of vegetable oil so that the fish does not stick to the surface.
2. Prepare the sauce. Pour sour cream into a deep container and put mustard. You can use any mustard: from a can, dry or whole. Wash the lemon, cut it in half and squeeze the juice from one part. Add salt, ground pepper and fish seasoning to the bowl. You can also add any spices and spices of your choice. Stir the food very well to distribute it evenly.
3. Grease carp with sour cream sauce on both sides, as well as inside. If desired, you can put chopped herbs, chopped garlic or other favorite foods inside the fish.
4. Preheat the oven to 190 ° С and send the fish to bake for 20-30 minutes. It is not necessary to cover it with foil, otherwise the crucians will not have a ruddy baked crust. Although if you prefer stewed fish than baked, you can cover the baking sheet with foil.
Serve the finished, tender and gourmet crucian carp immediately after cooking, sprinkling it with lemon juice.
