Oven-baked pike with pan-fried vegetables

Oven-baked pike with pan-fried vegetables is served hot, usually for lunch or dinner. The fish is baked with white wine and garlic, with carrot, pepper, aubergine and courgette lightly browned in a pan alongside. I put the vegetables next to the fish so they don’t cover it. Prep: 20 minutes. Cook: 38 minutes. Total time: 58 minutes. Servings: 4. About 250 kcal and 24 g protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 2 small pike
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 150 ml white wine
- 150 ml water
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 medium carrot (80 g)
- 2 peppers (1 yellow and 1 red)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 aubergine
- 1 courgette
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Preparation
1. Clean 2 small pike and pat them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle them with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper. 2. Heat the oven to 200°C. Put the fish in a baking dish, pour in 150 ml white wine and 150 ml water, then add 2 garlic cloves, half the carrot, sliced, and half of each pepper, sliced. Bake for 25 minutes, until the flesh flakes easily. 3. Slice the aubergine, courgette, remaining half of the carrot and remaining halves of the peppers. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan; cook the carrot and peppers for 4 minutes, then add the aubergine for another 4 minutes and the courgette for 4 minutes. 4. Add 2 chopped garlic cloves and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the pan. Cook for 1 more minute, until the garlic is fragrant and the vegetables are browned in places. Serve hot, with the fish and vegetables alongside.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, swap the soy sauce for 2 tablespoons of certified gluten-free tamari; regular soy sauce contains wheat. Larger fish may need another 5 minutes, while fillets cook faster, so check them towards the end. The wine goes into the baking dish from the start; replace the 150 ml with the same amount of vegetable stock if you don’t use alcohol. The pan is the step many people rush: let the aubergine soften before adding the courgette, and put the polenta on to cook while the fish bakes. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use pike fillets?
Yes. Put 4 150 g fillets in the baking dish and start checking them after 15 minutes.
Can I replace the pike with trout?
Yes, use 2 small trout weighing 300 g each and check them after 20 minutes at 200°C.
Can I use green pepper too?
Yes. Replace one of the peppers on the list with 1 green pepper, sliced.
