Filet of carp with apple garnish – a quick and delicious recipe

If you are looking for a simple and tasty recipe, filet of carp with apple garnish is the perfect choice. This dish combines the delicate flavors of fish with the sweetness of caramelized apples, offering a delightful contrast. With a preparation time of only 15 minutes and a cooking time of 10 minutes, you will have an unforgettable lunch or dinner for 2 servings.

Ingredients:
- 2-4 pieces of carp fillet (1-2 pieces per serving)
- 1-2 apples (preferably tart apples, such as Granny Smith)
- 4 slices of ham
- Corn (boiled or canned)
- Green onion (2-3 stalks)
- Fish spices (salt, pepper, sweet paprika)
- 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1-2 cloves of crushed garlic
- 1-2 tablespoons of cornmeal (optional, for a crunchy addition)

Preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by washing the carp fillets well under cold running water. Make sure to remove any remaining bones. Dry them with a paper towel.

2. Seasoning the fish: Brush the fillets with olive oil, then sprinkle the fish spices (salt, pepper, and possibly a little sweet paprika for color). Add the crushed garlic to enhance the flavors.

3. Preparing the apple garnish: Slice the apples thinly, keeping the skin for added texture and nutrients. I recommend using tart apples, which caramelize perfectly and balance the fish's taste.

4. Heating the grill: Preheat the grill to medium heat. If you don’t have a grill, you can use a non-stick skillet or a grill pan.

5. Grilling the fish: Place the carp fillets on the grill. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and easily lift off the grill. In the last minute of cooking, add the slices of ham on top so they brown slightly and spread their aroma around.

6. Caramelizing the apples: On the same side of the grill, place the apple slices. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.

7. Assembling the plate: Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the grill and carefully place it on a platter. Arrange the apple slices next to the carp fillets. Add boiled corn and finely chopped green onion for a pop of color and freshness.

8. Serving: Squeeze a little lemon juice over the dish to enhance the flavors. You can also add a few slices of lemon for decoration.

Variation suggestions:
- For a more intense flavor, you can add fresh herbs like dill or parsley both during cooking and at serving.
- If you want a richer garnish, you can sauté some vegetables like zucchini or bell pepper alongside the apples.

This recipe for carp fillet with apple garnish is not only easy to prepare but also excellent for a quick dinner during the week. Enjoy the fresh flavors and the unique combination of tastes. Bon appétit!
