I dont bake, I broil. Use a short sided pan or cookie sheet with sides. Spray with non stick. Lay in filets. Sprinkle with Pepper, ceyann, papreka onion powder, garlic powder, parsley or whatever you like. Melt some butter and pour over the top of each filet. I put the rack on second slot with a low broil till the butter starts to brown.

One recipe I found...

Quote:

I should tell you about my “Baked Northern Delux”

Scale and clean the fish

Spray Pam Cooking Spray on a baking pan

Lightly black pepper the whole fish

Stuff the inside with StoveTop Stuffing (or make your own Thanksgiving turkey style)

Wrap the whole fish in bacon (you can use toothpics to secure the strips)

Bake at 375 till the bacon is good and brown

Or you could just clean and scale, season with salt and lemon pepper and put in oven until done. Could also cut into sections and steam, asian style. I have been meaning to try that with some bluegills or smallies.

So people actually do eat northern pike

I usually let all pike go. I will admit that I have eaten them in the past and have no quarrels with them flavorwise. It's those darned Y bones I hate. That's my only obstacle in eating them

Glad to hear you let them go. More for me. (if they are decent sized, taking they Y bones out is easy. Sort of hard on those 20 inch hammerhandles).

Back in the 70's my grandma used to make stuffed whole pike. I don't recall her recipie but it was always good. Here A recipie that I have done it and was very happy with the results.

Scale and clean a large northern pike (27" or more). Do not fillet but scale and gut. Salt the fish inside lightly. You may also bake up two smaller pike of about 24" and this will make enough for 6-8 people.

Dice up an onion and saute in a tablespoon of butter. Fry up several pieces of bacon until well done and crumble the bacon up. Add the onion, bacon, and bacon fat to enough bread crumbs to stuff the pike along with some sage, salt, and pepper. Add enough milk to moisten the stuffing.

Stuff the pike with the stuffing mix. Sew up the pike with the stuffing inside. To make this easier, don't cut the pike all the way down when you clean it but only cut enough to gut it - this leaves less to sew.

Place the pike in a baking pan and place bacon strips over the pike. For a large pike, you may have to cut the pike in two pieces to fit in the pan. I used nearly a full package of bacon for a 32" pike I recently baked. Bacon!

Mix 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons of worcestershire sauce, and 2 tablespoons butter and bring it to a boil. Pour this mixture over the pike. Bake the pike for 1-3 hours, basting every 15 minutes at 400 degrees. It is done when the bacon is cooked and the pike begins to break apart.

This is about as good as it gets!

Get the y bones out and they are one of the best eating fish around. Otherwise I like them pickled.
