Grand Marnier Pike

Grand Marnier Pike 

Northern pike fillets

Flour

Salt and pepper to taste

Cayenne

Butter

Grand Marnier (liquor)

1 cup milk

Mix the flour, cayenne, salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl.

Dip the pike in milk and roll it in the flour mixture.

Heat the butter in a skillet or frying pan, bringing the butter to a sizzle. Put a shot of Grand Marnier in the pan. It may flare up (which is perfect). Immediately place the fish in the frying pan with the butter and Grand Marnier. Cook about 5 to 7 minutes on each side (or until golden brown). Fish is done when it flakes with a fork.

This is a great northern pike recipe. For added fun, try a shot of Grand Marnier for the pan, and a shot for the cook!

This fish recipe has an orange undertone that is delicious.

Dust the pike with flour before dipping in the batter. Heat the oil in a deep pan or skillet and carefully place the pike into the oil, cooking until golden brown.

Serve with tartar sauce and lemon slices.
