Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake pike cutlets in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. If you have a whole fish, gut it, remove the scales, separate the fillets and remove the bones. The weight of the fillet after processing is 450 g. Pass the fish through a meat grinder or beat in a blender. I had ready-made minced pike fish. If you use frozen fish, defrost it first. Melt the butter first. You can also add onions to the minced meat.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut the crusts off the slices of white bread. Pour milk over the bread and leave for 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Step 3
Place minced fish in a bowl. Squeeze the bread from the milk and add to the minced meat. Beat the egg, pour in the melted butter, add salt and pepper. If you are going to add onion to the minced meat, you can chop it finely or chop it together with pieces of fish. Onions chopped with a knife can be added to the minced meat raw or after frying in vegetable oil until light golden brown.

Step 4

Step 4
Knead the minced meat thoroughly with your hands. If the minced meat turns out to be too liquid and watery (and this often happens when grinding fish in a blender after defrosting, because it still contains more moisture than fresh), you can add 1-2 tbsp. l. semolina and leave for 20 minutes to swell. Place the finished minced meat in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Step 5
Using wet hands, form the chilled minced meat into medium-sized oval cutlets and roll in breading on all sides. If you donʼt have breadcrumbs, you can make your own: cut a few slices of loaf into cubes and toast in the oven until golden brown. Then put the crackers in a bag and roll them over with a rolling pin, or grind them in a blender.

Step 6

Step 6
Place the cutlets on a baking sheet lined with parchment and greased with vegetable oil. Also brush the cutlets with vegetable oil on top. Bake pike cutlets in an oven preheated to 180°C for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. The exact baking time depends on the features of your oven. Bon appetit!
