baked/broiled northern?

[goblueM]

I'm getting tired of fried fish and we have 2 limits of snake northerns to eat still in my house...

anybody have some good recipes that aren't fried or pickled!? thanks in advance

Boiled northern dipped in butter is EXCELLENT. At least with fresh pike it is, I'm not sure after its been frozen for awhile. I'm sure broiled and brushed with butter would be pretty darn tasty, too.

If they are big enough to fillet you might want to try cooking them in tinfoil. I use a bit of oil on the foil, then sliced carrots, butter buds and dill weed on top of the fillet and wrap it up. Can be cooked on a cookie sheet in the over or on a grill.

Shore Lunch makes a breading mix for use in the oven. It's easy and surprisingly good.

I've been doing the baked fish routine for a while and it's a big hit at my house. Here is my basic process:

Use a glass casserole dish with a cover. Put a layer of fish on the bottom. one fillet deep, sprinkle with melted butter and some paprika. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. Try it once then add whatever seasoning you like the next time to perfect your recipe. Works for northerns (I de-bone mine) and also for panfish.

use Moutain Dew, boil the fish, dip in butter.

Have fun.

Boil the fish in Mt Dew? Seriously?

Try a little lemon pepper and fry, microwave, or bake with a little butter.

Coat with corn meal (with a little wheat flour is desired) or finely crushed saltines and fry with a light oil or butter.

Season with your favorite spices, I like season salt and lemon pepper, and grill on a charcoal grill. Place them directly on the grill, no foil, until flaky. About 1 min. per side is all it takes with a hot grill.

Boil the nord in 7-up, must be 7-up not diet or sierra mist. Dip in garlic butter it will taste just like lobster, yes seriously!

[Mike89]

yes boil in pop, it does make a difference on brands for taste, but it's great!

Like any whitefish, an easy cooking method would be to bake or grill. I usually stick it in the oven/grill for a few minutes, then rub a small piece of butter once the flesh is warm, sprinkle with spice of choice, then cook until finished. It's all pretty easy.

If you didn't remove the y-bones and don't want to deal with them while eating, then pickling is your best choice.

goblue,

I've never tried this recipe with northern, but I love it with crappies and walleye. Feel free to modify/improve as needed.

Place your fillets in a baking pan bake for a few minutes, remove and then brush them with butter or olive oil and sprinkle on some garlic salt, crushed black pepper, Italian seasoning and cayenne pepper and add some sliced jalapenos and red onions. Resume baking.

Right as it's about done, sprinkle on some freshly ground Parmesan cheese and finish baking.

So nummy!!!
