Pike stuffed with carrots and onions in the oven. Stuffed pike, baked in the oven: recipes with photos

And even if it seems to you that this dish is very difficult to make, then I hasten to reassure you - it’s as simple as shelling pears. I will show you an easy way to cut a fish carcass for stuffing; even the most inexperienced housewife can do it.

First, the pike must be thoroughly washed (slippery and contaminated) and cleaned of scales. This is easy to do if you hold it by the tail and wrap it in a paper towel - it will not slip out of your hands.


If your fish is not gutted, you will have to carefully cut the belly and remove all the insides. Then rinse thoroughly to remove any remaining blood and dry slightly with a clean towel.


Now, placing the fish on its back, you need to remove the spinal bone. To do this, using sharp scissors, you must first cut (separate) the rib bones from the ridge itself.


Then cut through the flesh to the skin along the spine. Just do this carefully so as not to damage the integrity of the skin.



We get this unfolded fish from two halves. You need to cut off all the rib bones from each with a sharp knife.


And then carefully cut the fillet pulp from the skin.


If there are any areas of meat left, they can easily be scraped off the skin with a spoon.

Exposed excess fin bones can also be trimmed, the closer to the skin.



Now it's time to prepare the minced meat.

Cut off the crusts from the loaf (slightly stale). Soak the crumb in milk - let it soak and swell for a while.

Peel the onion and cut into medium pieces.

Also peel and chop a clove of garlic (if desired).


Heat the frying pan. Reducing the heat, melt the butter in it and lightly fry half the chopped onion and garlic until translucent and golden brown.


Cut the fillet pulp into pieces, at the same time checking for the presence of remaining bones - it is better to remove them. Then you need to grind it as finely as possible - in a meat grinder or blender - whatever is convenient for you.

Then add fried and raw chopped onion, a swollen loaf squeezed from milk, an egg, salt and ground pepper to the minced meat. Mix everything well to begin with, and then grind again (in a mixer or meat grinder) so that you get a homogeneous, paste-like, dense mass. It is very easy to do this using an immersion mixer.

If the minced meat is a little runny, you can thicken it by adding a little breadcrumbs.


Now fill the fish stocking with minced meat, but not too tightly. Otherwise, the skin may burst during baking. Ideally, the fish should take the same size as before gutting.

All the minced meat most likely won’t fit, but we won’t let it go to waste either. You can use it to fry simple but very tasty cutlets.


Grease a large piece of foil with vegetable oil and place the stuffed fish on it, seam side down. Make several punctures on the sides with a needle, and then grease the fish itself with vegetable oil.


Wrap the fish in foil with an envelope and place it in a baking pan. Place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees.

Dad went fishing and caught a pike. And she says in a human voice:

Let me go Emelya, I will fulfill your three wishes.
- But I’m not Emelya! - Dad answered.
- Then I won’t do it! - said the pike and landed on our table.

Stuffed fish is a wonderful dish that will suit any holiday table. Of course, if it's not a sweet table. According to the recipe that I will offer you today, you can cook any other large fish.

For example, you can take river pike perch. Like pike, pike perch, the fish itself is quite dry, so this recipe will come in handy. The essence of the recipe is that dry fish fillets are removed from the skin, ground in a meat grinder into minced meat with lard and cheese, which in turn add tenderness to the fish dish and make it fattier.

The minced meat is then placed back into the skin, which resembles the shape of a stocking. As a result, the fish looks presentable, is easy to cut, and is quickly eaten. Stuffed pike with lard and cheese can be served either cold or hot. And a beautiful presentation will make a delicious fish dish also a wonderful table decoration.

So, get acquainted! The most delicious pike baked in the oven.

How to stuff pike. Cooking the most delicious pike in the oven.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pike weighing approximately 1.5 kg;
  • 1 piece of loaf;
  • 200 g lard;
  • 1 processed cheese;
  • 1 small onion;
  • 1 egg;
  • 1 tsp oregano spices;
  • salt, pepper to taste.
  • any vegetables and herbs to taste;
  • mayonnaise;
  • 1 lemon.

Preparation

  1. Pike has very unpleasant large scales, which need to be cleaned first. Usually they help with this in the store, and at home all that remains is to remove the remaining scales and rinse the fish from them. If you caught a pike yourself, it is better to clean it in nature, so as not to spread excess dirt at home. We wash the pike well under running water.
  2. We cut off the head of the pike so that the insides can be removed along with it. Then we separate the insides. We don’t throw away the head, we will bake it for beauty.
  3. Using a long sharp knife, we begin to separate the pike meat from the skin in a circle. We act very carefully so as not to damage our future stocking, otherwise all the work will be in vain.
  4. When there is something to grab onto, we try to pull the stocking off the pike with our hands. The fresher the fish, the easier the stocking is to remove. At the stage of separating the fillet from the skin, it is better not to rush and remove the skin literally millimeter by millimeter. We cleaned a little on one side and turned the fish over to the other.
  5. You need to be especially careful in the places where the fins begin. It is better to have meat left on the skin than to have a hole. We do not cut off the fins, but leave them on the stocking along with the fish meat.
  6. Very carefully turn the stocking inside out and cut the carcass from the skin, cutting the ridge near the tail. This is what an ugly stocking and such an imperfect carcass should look like. I repeat: the main thing is that the stocking has no holes through which the minced meat can leak while the pike is baking in the oven. We put the skin in the refrigerator for now.
  7. We remove the pike fillet from the ridge with our hands. We act slowly so that the large bones remain on the ridge. First on one side of the ridge, then on the other.
  8. It is convenient to remove the remains of fish on the ridge using a teaspoon, moving from head to tail.
  9. We throw away the skeleton and take out the remaining bones from the fish. The process is long and tedious, and at this stage tweezers will serve as our assistant. When all the fish fillets have been processed, you can breathe a sigh of relief - the most difficult and lengthy stage is over.
  10. Before taking out the meat grinder, let's prepare the remaining ingredients. Peel the onion, wash it and cut it into 4 - 8 parts depending on the size of the onion. We wash and chop the lard so that it is convenient to pass it through a meat grinder. Soak a slice of loaf in water, take out the processed cheese.
  11. Now it's up to the meat grinder. We pass the fish 2-3 times to ensure that we get rid of the bones in the minced meat (in the cleaned fish there could be small bones left, which can be easily removed by a meat grinder).
  12. We pass lard, onions, processed cheese, and a slice of loaf of bread previously squeezed out of water through a meat grinder.
  13. Break the egg into the minced meat. Salt, pepper, add oregano.
  14. Line a baking tray with baking paper. We stuff our stocking with minced meat, grease it with mayonnaise and place it on a baking sheet. Try not to stuff the pike to capacity, otherwise some of the minced meat will come out during the baking process. If you have some of the minced meat left, you can roll it into balls (after adding rice) and bake fish balls. So, next to the stuffed pike we place its head and also grease it with mayonnaise.
  15. Cover the baking sheet tightly with foil and place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake the pike for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  16. Then the pike needs to be completely cooled so that it can be easily transferred to a dish whole and not damaged. Before serving, it is advisable to let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Prepare a dish of stuffed pike and serve!
  17. It is better to cut pike into portions when chilled. And before serving, if desired, pike slices can be heated in the microwave.

The most delicious stuffed fish - pike in the oven is ready! Bon appetit!

Thanks to my father-in-law (an avid fisherman), a pike appeared in the house.

Pike ~ 600g, slice of loaf soaked in milk, 1 egg, ~ 30g. butter, 1 onion, salt, pepper, lemon juice.

I know that many people boil stuffed pike, but I decided to bake it. Let's get started.

Clean the fish, remove the gills and eyes. Lightly beat the carcass with a wooden spatula to make it easier to remove the skin. Make a cut under the head to the ridge, break it. You can simply cut off the head, which is what I did with the first fish. But I decided to tinker with the second one :) Remove the insides. Making cuts in a circle between the skin and meat, remove the skin with a stocking. To better preserve the skin, it is better to trim so that a small (1~2mm) layer of meat remains on the skin. Trim the meat near the fins so that the fins remain with the skin.

Break the ridge at the tail.

Separate the remaining meat from the skin.

Put the skin aside, remembering to turn it inside out :)

For minced meat:

Pass the meat, removed from the backbone and skin, with onions and bread three times through a meat grinder. Add softened butter, egg, salt and pepper. You can add some chopped green onions and grated carrots - for beauty on the cut.

Beat into a fluffy mass.

Fill the skin and head with this minced meat.

Do not fill it too tightly, otherwise the skin may burst during baking.

Cover a baking sheet with foil. Lay out a line of bay leaves on the foil and place the stuffed skin on them. Attach the head to the body (if cut off).

Lightly salt the pike on top and sprinkle with lemon juice.

Place the baking sheet in the oven for 1 hour at t=190°C.

All. We take out the pike, put it in a suitable dish (I don’t have one), decorate it, and rejoice - I did it! :))

Slice and...

Bon appetit!

But if you know how to do it, your efforts will be noticed. A beautifully decorated dish will create a real sensation for all guests.

The main thing is that it always turns out tasty and appetizing! What subtleties do you need to know?

  • First of all, you need to choose the right fish. Fresh pike has a strong fishy aroma and a clear mucus coating. Under the gill bone, the gills are a rich red color without darkening or spots. Skin without cracks or tears with densely covered scales.
  • The most time-consuming and difficult process in preparing this dish is to carefully remove the skin, like a stocking. For this reason, for stuffing whole pike, it is best to take a carcass weighing 1.5 kg. This is difficult to do with large fish, and it may not fit in the oven.
  • Many people refuse to eat pike because... when finished, it has a characteristic smell of mud. But this recipe won't do that. Because the filling includes fried onions and carrots, which interrupt the specific aroma characteristic of pike. When baking stuffed pike in the oven as a whole carcass, remember that the meat of the fish is lean. Therefore, you need to choose the right minced meat for the filling.


A variety of products are used for stuffing: eggs, prunes, mushrooms, rice, nuts, buckwheat. Here imagination can run wild without limits! For additional juiciness, you can add a piece of fresh lard to almost any filling. Options for fillings that are mixed with minced fish (for 1-1.5 kg of fish) can be the following:
  • Potato filling: raw finely chopped potatoes or mashed potatoes are mixed with fried onions.
  • Mushroom: champignons (250 g), milk (150 ml), loaf (3 slices), carrots (1 pc.), onion (1 pc.), butter (2 tbsp.), eggs (1 pc.) .
  • Rice: boiled rice (2 tbsp), white bread (100 g), milk (200 ml), onion (150 g), eggs (1 pc.), greens.
  • Assorted: mushrooms (300 g), rice (50 g), butter (50 g), onion (1 pc.), carrots (1 pc.), crab sticks (100 g), juice of one lemon.
Bake a whole stuffed pike in the oven for a homemade feast or special occasion, and your efforts will be well worth it! Use the suggested fillings or come up with your own combinations.

Stuffed pike in the oven - a classic recipe

  • Calorie content per 100 g - 141 kcal.
  • Number of servings - 6-8 servings
  • Cooking time - total cooking time is about 3 hours, of which the dish is baked for 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Pike - 1-1.5 kg
  • Onions - 3 pcs.
  • Carrots - 2 pcs.
  • Lard - 150 g
  • Dry loaf - 300 g
  • Eggs - 3 pcs.
  • Beetroot - 1 pc.
  • Milk - 300 ml
  • Salt - 1 tsp.
  • Spices - to taste (cloves, bay leaf)
  • Vegetable oil - for frying

Step-by-step preparation:

  1. Clean the pike from scales so as not to damage the skin and remove the gills from the head.
  2. Make cuts near the lower fin and the upper fin. Carefully trim the skin to separate it from the entrails. Place your hand deep into the pike and carefully remove the giblets so as not to damage the gall bladder.

Note: If the gallbladder bursts, immediately immerse the pike in cold water, diluted with 1 tbsp. table salt and 2 tbsp. table vinegar 9%. Leave the fish for half an hour, then rinse thoroughly.

  • Next, take a rolling pin or any other convenient object and beat the carcass on both sides, applying 10 blows each. This will help remove the skin easier and tenderize the meat.
  • Using a sharp knife, decapitate the fish and cut off the tail bone so that the fin remains intact.
  • From the side of the head, using a knife to help, slowly separate the skin from the meat in a circle, pulling the skin over itself. When you reach the top and bottom fin, use scissors to cut them away from the meat so they remain on the skin. Turning the skin out, gradually reach the tail.
  • Next, get to the meat. Separate it from the spine.
  • Cook the broth. Place the bones in a saucepan, cover with water, add one onion and spices. Cook it after boiling over low heat for 40 minutes, being sure to skim off the foam. Then strain through a fine sieve.
  • To fill the loaf, fill the loaf with milk and leave to swell for 15 minutes.
  • Peel the remaining onions and grate them. Sauté in vegetable oil in a frying pan until transparent.
  • Place the lard in a chopper and grind. Add the hot fried vegetables and mash the ingredients until the heat melts the lard.
  • Twist the fish fillet through a meat grinder several times or chop with a blender.
  • Combine the minced meat with the loaf, squeezing it out of the liquid, and the vegetables with lard.
  • Separate the yolks from the whites and place the first ones in the minced meat. Add salt, pepper and spices to taste. Stir. The minced meat should not be liquid, but it should not stick to your hands.
  • Note: Do not add more eggs than specified in the recipe, because... the filling will be tough.

  • Beat the egg whites with a mixer until stable white peaks form and fold them into the filling in small portions. They will give the finished dish an airy consistency.
  • Stuff the skin of the carcass and head with the fish mixture.
  • Peel the carrots and beets, cut into pieces and place on a baking sheet. Place the stuffed pike carcass with the head on top and fill it with broth.
  • Cover the fish with greased foil and place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees.
  • After 20 minutes, remove the foil and leave the fish in the oven for another 20 minutes until golden brown.

    Note: The main criterion for fish readiness is when the broth turns golden and 2/3 of it has boiled away. You can put the remaining broth in the refrigerator and get fish jellied meat.

  • Cool the finished dish completely, as it is customary to serve it cold. Place on a serving plate along with the head so that the pike looks whole in appearance. Using a pastry syringe, decorate the carcass with mayonnaise, and place olives in the mouth and eye sockets.
