Northern Pike on the Grill

Northern Pike in the spring of the year is the best fish around and it’s in abundance in the bays of Lake of the Woods. Have your favorite guide help you take out the Y bones and you’ll have the perfect fillet to put on the grill.

Prepare your grill to 425 degrees:

You can either put your fresh northerns on the grill or use heavy duty aluminum foil to cook them on. If you put them on the grill, be aware that they can fall apart when they are done because they are very tender. If you use heavy duty aluminum foil, make a pan out of it.

Pour some olive oil onto the foil

Place your fillets onto the foil

Sprinkle your fillets with:

Melted Butter

Lawry’s Season Salt

Lemon Pepper

Minced Garlic ( to your taste)

Place the foil onto the grill and cook until the meat is white and flakes.  This will only take about 10 minutes. Then carefully remove the fillets and enjoy.
