- pike – 1 pc.;
- rice – 100 g;
- onion – 1 pc.;

Preparation
Now we’ll tell you how to prepare a delicious pike dish. First of all, let's cut it up first. To do this, rinse it thoroughly with cold water, dry it on a paper towel, carefully remove the scales, remove the gills, take out the insides without tearing the abdomen, and very carefully remove the skin. We remove the resulting fillet from the backbone of the pike, cut the meat from the bones and remove all small bones.
Boil the rice in salted water until tender. We twist the cut pike meat through a meat grinder into minced meat, add the onion, season with salt and pepper and combine with boiled rice. Mix the filling thoroughly with a spoon and fill the “skin” of the pike with it, but not very tightly.
Cover the baking tray with foil so that the fish does not burn during cooking and is easy to remove. Grease a baking sheet with sunflower oil and bake in the oven for about 30-35 minutes at 180 degrees. Serve the finished stuffed fish on the table with fresh vegetables, cutting it into small portions with a knife and decorating it with a mesh of mayonnaise on top.

Preparation
We clean the pike from scales using a scraper, cut its belly, remove all the insides, cut off the head, fins and tail. Then we rinse the fish under cold water, place it on a cutting board and make a deep cut along the ridge, trimming the fillet so that it is completely separated from the bones. Remove large bones from the resulting pike pulp, remove the skin and cut the fillet into small pieces. Pour milk into a bowl, soak a piece of loaf in it, let the bread soften for 15 minutes.
During this time, peel the onion and garlic and wash the vegetables along with lard under running water. Next, dry everything on a towel and chop the lard and onion separately into pieces. Then we grind all the prepared ingredients in a meat grinder: pike fillet, garlic, onion, lard and soaked loaf. Add some salt to the resulting minced meat, mix until smooth, break the eggs and form small cutlets.
After this, pour breadcrumbs into a bowl and roll all the cutlets, giving them an oblong shape with your palms. Now we light the stove, put a frying pan on it, pour in some oil, carefully lower the pike cutlets and fry them on one side for about 7 minutes until golden brown, and then on the other. Serve the finished dish hot with vegetable salad, boiled pasta and rice.

- Fry the fish on one side in vegetable oil. Then turn the pieces over, covering them with the prepared onions.
- Fry for another 5 minutes.

Without flour
You can cook fish in a frying pan without flour. Pike cooked in tomato will be delicious. This recipe is good for those who are forced for some reason to give up eating fried foods. In this case, we are preparing stewed pike, unusually juicy with a piquant taste.
It is necessary to prepare the following set of products:
- fish carcass weighing 1.5 kg;
- ripe tomatoes – 0.5 kg;
- onions – 2 large heads;
- sugar - half a teaspoon;
- salt, pepper - to taste;

When serving, the pike can be decorated with herbs and poured with the tomato sauce in which it was stewed.
- In a frying pan with a thick bottom, fry the onion half rings in olive oil until golden brown.
- Pour boiling water over the tomatoes and remove the skins from them.
- Cut the tomatoes into cubes and add them to the onion.
- Simmer under a closed lid for 10 minutes, adding sugar and spices.
- Place pike in the resulting tomato mass with tomato pieces.
- Simmer for another 25-30 minutes.
Any side dish and greens will go well with this dish.
With onions and carrots
To prepare pike with carrots and onions, we proceed in the same way as in classic recipes: bread the pieces in flour and salt. Fry until golden brown on both sides over high heat very quickly - for 1-2 minutes. This is how we get a fish with juice “sealed” inside. Grate the carrots and chop the onion.
Reduce heat, add carrots and onions, pour milk into the pan until it covers the contents. Season with spices to taste, cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes. As a result, we will get a dish with an amazingly delicate taste, which is served with potatoes, rice, and pasta.
Second course of pike stewed with vegetables
For this fresh pike dish you will need:
- Pike layer with vertebrae and skin - 700 g;
- Vegetable oil 70 g;
- Onions - 100 g;
- Carrots - 50 g;
- White roots - 50 g;
- Fresh tomatoes - 100 g;
- Flour for breading - 40 g;
- White and black peppercorns, 5 peas each;
- Salt;
- Parsley, dill, onions - 30 g.
The pike layer is cut into pieces at an angle of 45°, breaded in flour, the gluten is allowed to swell for 7 minutes and fried in a frying pan with heated vegetable oil. The fried parts are turned over and salted. If we prepare dishes from pike, then do not forget that salt is hygroscopic, it draws moisture onto itself, and on the skin of the fish with salt, evaporation of fish juice from hot fat occurs. As long as there is moisture, the fish is undoubtedly steamed, so you can forget about the taste of fried fish.
Onions and carrots are cut into circles and fried separately, white roots are cut diagonally and baked on the grill or in a frying pan without fat, salt or spices.
The tomatoes are blanched, peeled and cut into slices before adding to the fish. Peppercorns are crushed in a mortar or tablespoons.
Place a layer of vegetables on the bottom in a thick-bottomed pan, place fried fish skin side down on top, add salt to the fish, pepper, cover with a layer of vegetables and tomatoes, chopped greens, add the remaining vegetable oil, cover with a lid and put on low heat (up to 80 ° C) for 30 -40 minutes.
The degree of readiness of the fish is determined by the aroma from under the lid of the pan.
Stewed fish is kept for 20-40 minutes under the lid - the time depends on the time of year: less in winter - longer in summer. The pike is allowed to cool to 60 ° C, transferred to a heated dish, decorated with herbs, lemon, olives, pickles and solemnly served to the table with candles. The aroma of a culinary creation excites a very healthy appetite.
Having decorated this second dish of pike stewed in vegetables with herbs, serve it to the table.

- pike – 1 pc.;
- onion – 1 large head;
- olive oil;
- butter;
- milk;

White and black peppercorns, thyme, parsley, and tarragon are well suited for this dish. It is better to use fresh herbs, but you can use dried herbs. One bay leaf will add piquancy.
The fish is poured with milk so that the fillet is covered by at least 0.5 cm.
- Cut the pike into fillets, it will be used in our recipe. The remaining parts are used to prepare fish soup.
