Catfish in the oven: how to bake whole? Video

For one medium-sized fish, take:

• 2-3 lemons
• 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
• salt
• seasoning for fish
• one large onion
• 2 bunch of parsley

Many people do not like to cook catfish because of the specific unpleasant odor of the sludge. To get rid of it, rub the catfish with salt, seasoning for fish and pour the freshly squeezed juice of one lemon (it is enough to squeeze the juice of one lemon on one and a half kilogram fish. If the catfish is more, then squeeze the juice from more citrus fruits). Cover the prepared fish with cling film and let the catfish marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.

While the meat is marinating, peel the onion and cut it into half rings. Chop the parsley. Stuff the belly of the catfish with herbs and onions. Place it on a baking sheet. Lubricate the sides and back with olive oil.

Preheat the oven to a temperature of 200 degrees. Place the baking sheet with the catfish to bake for 50 minutes. The finished catfish will acquire a delicious crispy crust, and the meat will turn white (you can see this through the cuts on the back).

Gently transfer the baked catfish to a large platter. Cut the lemon into wedges in a semicircle. Insert them into the slits on the back of the fish. Place the side dish on the sides. Boiled rice, baked potatoes, stewed vegetables are perfect as it.
