I do something similar using mayo as "glue". I keep a shaker of tarted
up bread crumbs. And I use a hot paprika in place of the ground chile.

As to the carp - It's native to fresh water and thrives in muddy, turbid
streams where other fish don't/can't live. Carp caught from those bodies
of water are often "muddy" tasting which has given the species a bad
name with many. But, remember, goldfish are a close relative of carp.

     Title: Dorada "Gold Fish" w/Curd Recipe
Categories: Deafood, Herbs, Vegetables, Cheese
     Yield: 2 servings

     2    Pcs Dorado; 12 - 14 OZ each
     3 tb Oil
   1/2 ts Paprika; sweet
   1/2 ts Basil
   1/2 ts Oregano
   1/2 ts Turmeric
   1/2 sm Lemon
          Salt
     2 tb Cottage cheese
     6    Dried tomatoes
          Garlic; dried

 The fish is cleaned of scales, the insides are removed
 and the gills are removed. Wash, dry on paper towels.
 Prepare a marinade of oil and spices. (squeeze half a
 lemon into the oil, add sweet paprika, basil, marjoram,
 turmeric. Mix thoroughly.)

 Make criss-cross incisions on the fish on both sides.

 Prepare the filling. Mix the cheese and chopped
 sun-dried tomatoes. Add a little salt, if desired, add
 dry basil and dry garlic. Mix it.

 Stuff the cavity with cottage cheese mixture.

 Brush with a marinade of spices on both sides with a
 silicone brush.

 Put it in a baking dish. Usually, the oil used to
 lubricate the fish is enough so that it does not burn
 and does not stick to the bottom of the mold. But just
 in case, you can pre-cover the bottom with baking paper.

 Next, you can add fresh vegetables to the fish, for
 example cherry tomatoes or green asparagus, they are
 also lubricated with a brush with the remnants of oil
 with spices.

 Put it in the oven @ 375ºF/190ºC for 20-25 minutes.

 When serving, sprinkle with allspice and garnish with
 sprigs of fresh basil.

 Enjoy your meal!
