Method

1. Clean the carp¹, remove the innards, gills, and fins, rinse, and pat dry.

2. Season the fish with salt and pepper blend. Slice the lemon⁵ into rounds, and chop the onion² and carrot³ roughly.

3. Toss half the oil with the vegetables, place them in a bowl with the fish, mix well, and refrigerate for 3 hours.

4. Stuff the fish’s cavity with some onion², carrot³, and lemon⁵ slices.

5. Arrange the fish and remaining vegetables on foil, drizzle with the rest of the oil, wrap tightly, and place on a baking tray.

6. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 5 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily.

7. Rinse the beans, heat them in a pan or microwave for 3 minutes, and serve with the fish.
