Birthday Carp

1.Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2.Clean the carp thoroughly, removing scales, gutting, and rinsing under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.

3.In a small bowl, combine the juice of 2 lemons, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, black pepper, cayenne pepper, ginger powder, and onion powder. Mix well to create the marinade.

4.Place the cleaned carp in a large baking dish and pour the marinade over the fish, making sure to coat it evenly. Slice the remaining lemons and arrange them on top of the carp.

5.Cover the baking dish with foil and let the carp marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

6.Once marinated, bake the carp in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

7.Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to allow the carp to brown slightly on top.

8.Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your flavorful Birthday Carp!
