An Unconventional Christmas Eve Menu: Pike in Almond Batter

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're swapping tradition for something special with this simple yet elegant pike coated in a nutty almond batter – a gluten-free twist that comes together in just 25 minutes. The trickiest part is getting the batter smooth and lump-free, but once that's done, the frozen fillets thaw quickly and fry up golden in minutes.

    Make the almond batter

    In a deep bowl, whisk the eggs with a fork. Season with salt, then add the ground almonds, finely chopped parsley and buckwheat flour – start with one tablespoon and add the second depending on how thick the batter is. Stir with a fork until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.

About this recipe

This year, after several years of the same routine, I'm in the mood to shake up our menu a little, so I've been testing out what might go down well with us. One recipe turned out really brilliant, so I want to share it with you. Hopefully it'll inspire someone who, like us this year, fancies something a bit less traditional. The recipe is simple, and working with frozen fillets actually makes it even easier.
