Northwoods Baked Northern Pike Recipe
- 2 Northern Pike filets about 3 lbs
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
Spice Sprinkle Mixture:
(We will only use part of the spice mixture)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried powdered thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried powdered rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Remove skin from the Northern Pike filets and rinse with cold water. Remove the Y bones from the filets and cut the filets into several 4 inch pieces. Dry the filets with paper towels. Coat the bottom of the baking pan with one tablespoon of the butter. Place the filets skin side down in the baking dish. Paint the filets with the melted butter. Mix the spices together in a small bowl. We only use part about 1/3 or 1/2 of the spices to dust the filets, reserve the rest for later use. Sprinkle some of the spices on top of the filets. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until the filets flake. Serves four.
