Pike cutlets - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute pike with other firm-fleshed fish like cod, haddock, or even salmon. Just ensure the fish is fresh and deboned for the best texture.
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread or almond flour. For low-carb, replace bread with crushed pork rinds or coconut flour, and use heavy cream or a dairy-free alternative.
Cooked pike cutlets can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or oven to maintain crispness.
Yes, you can freeze them either before or after cooking. Layer uncooked cutlets between parchment paper or freeze cooked ones in a sealed container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
Pair them with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad. A tangy tartar sauce or lemon-dill yogurt sauce also complements the cutlets well.
For extra crispiness, coat the formed cutlets lightly in breadcrumbs or panko before frying. Ensure the oil is hot enough (around 350°F/175°C) to prevent sogginess.
Yes, you can omit the egg and use a flaxseed or chia seed gel (1 tbsp ground seeds + 3 tbsp water) as a binder, or simply rely on the bread and cream mixture for cohesion.
Absolutely! Bake at 375°F (190°C) on a greased or parchment-lined tray for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through. Lightly brush with oil for crispness.
