Pike In White Wine

Ingredients:

• 2-4 whole pike - 4 pounds in all, cleaned
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 onions, chopped
• 1 pound tomatoes, diced
• 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• salt and pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Rub the fish inside and out with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over high heat and sauté the onions for 10 minutes. Spread the onions evenly into a baking dish and lay the fish on top of them. Add the tomatoes, mushrooms and white wine and bake for about 20 minutes or until done. Transfer to serving plates and top with the freshly chopped parsley.

Easy Grilled Pike

Ingredients:

• 2-3 pounds of pike fillets
• ¾ cup ranch dressing
• fresh dill, chopped
• 2 lemons, cut into wedges

Directions:

Preheat a gas barbecue grill or fire up some coals on the charcoal bbq to a medium hot heat. Meanwhile, place the pike filets on heavy duty aluminum foil. You may put them all together or prepare them on individual sheets of foil. Generously rub the fillets with the ranch salad dressing. Place on the grill and cook for 20 minutes or until done by testing with a fork for flakiness. Serve with dill and lemon wedges.

Tip: Pike have a bony flesh structure, therefore baking pike is common for cooking this fish. Baking helps best to dissolve much of the small bones to allow it easier to consume. Larger pike are often filleted and easier to debone.
