Baked/stuffed whitefish recipe, please.

Caught a really nice whitefish this AM and would like to bake this one rather than fillet. Anyone have a good baked/stuffed recipe? Thanks. BEL

PM, BeeGuy.... that guys cooks alot of White fish! he is the Fish-slayer for them whites.

Not really, but I like to use Thyme on my whitefish.

Depends on the quality of the fish though. If they're a bit fishy, stuff some lemon slices in the cavity. Otherwise, salt/pepper/Thyme/butter-->bake.

$0.02

What about a stuffing besides lemon, which i usually put in/on fish anyway? BEL

Broil the fish and take the meat off the bones. Mix with mashed potatoes and make fish cakes seasoned however you like them. Brown them in a frying pan and freeze whatever you don't eat for meals later on.

Great idea for the leftovers, Dave. I have a great recipe, somewhere, for fish cakes. BEL

Tell us more about this. It sounds good. How much potato's to fish? I'm thinking about 2/3 rds fish to 1/3 mashed potato, is that about right?

My recipe, as I recall, is about 1/4 potato with an egg to bind all together. Nothing wrong with 1/3. Put some lemon zest in it. BEL

I used to do this all the time with my pike. I never measured anything though.....lol! I just boiled and mashed up some potatoes while the pike was baking and I went by the texture of the patties to get the right mix of fish to potatoe. We'd make 1" thick patties, coat them in bread crumbs, brown them on both sides and freeze a bunch. Since everything is already cooked you only have to reheat them.

The nice thing about doing fish cakes is that you can experiment and adjust them to they way that you like them. Add onion, shrimp, etc.....whatever you like. Each batch is different and the same type of fish never gets old. Enjoy!

Next keeper size pike i catch i'm gonna keep him and give it a try. Usually don't keep pike but this sounds tasteeeee. only dif I'm gonna do tho is not mash the spuds but gonna shred them sortta speak. Fish burgers, it is!

If you add a light panko (Japanese bread crumbs) to the cakes to create a crust, that will add to the crunch. Also, use Old Bay seafood seasoning, it works wonders!
