Walleye

White Cheddar Grits

Spicy Crawfish Mushroom Sauce

Method

Walleye Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Walleye

    Season the walleye fillets with salt and pepper. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of parmesan and pepper.

  2. 2

    Dredge each fillet in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the parmesan-pepper mixture.

  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, and sauté the coated fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

White Cheddar Grits Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Gradually whisk in grits and salt, reduce heat to low, and cover.

  2. 5

    Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened. Stir in butter and white cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.

Spicy Crawfish Mushroom Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the Sauce

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and mushrooms, sauté until mushrooms are tender.

  2. 7

    Stir in crawfish tails, heavy cream, and Cajun seasoning. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust salt to taste.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Serve the Dish

    On a plate, place a generous serving of white cheddar grits, top with the sautéed walleye, and drizzle with spicy crawfish mushroom sauce. Serve immediately.
