Preparation
Step 1
How do you bake carp in sour cream in pieces? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. It’s best to buy live carp - then you can be sure it’s fresh. If you buy chilled fish, check the gills (they should be pink or red) and the eyes (they should not be cloudy).
Step 2
Gut and clean the fish. If you like, remove the head, tail, and fins. A small carp can be left whole; a large one can be cut into pieces.
Step 3
Coat the carp pieces in flour on all sides.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet, add the carp, and fry over medium heat on all sides until golden.
Step 5
While the carp is frying, peel the onion and slice it into thin half-rings.
Step 6
Add salt and pepper to the onion, mix, and let it sit.
Step 7
Add all spices and crushed bay leaf to the sour cream.
Step 8
Put some of the onion on the bottom of an ovenproof baking dish.
Step 9
Add the fried carp.
Step 10
Place the remaining onion between the fish pieces.
Step 11
Pour sour cream over the fish. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C / 356°F for about 30 minutes.
Step 12
Sprinkle the finished dish with chopped dill and serve immediately with any side dish or with vegetables. Enjoy your meal!
