Grilled Vegetables

Mashed Potatoes or Rice

Method

Preparing the Walleye

  1. 1

    Coat the Walleye

    Start by seasoning the walleye fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides. Dredge each fillet in flour, shaking off any excess.

  2. 2

    Prepare Egg Wash

    In a bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Dip each floured fillet into the egg wash, ensuring it's fully coated.

  3. 3

    Crust the Fillets

    Press the egg-coated fillets into the chopped almonds, ensuring an even coating on both sides.

  4. 4

    Pan Roast the Walleye

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the almond-crusted walleye fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Grilling the Vegetables

  1. 5

    Prepare Vegetables

    In a bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  2. 6

    Grill the Vegetables

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Add the vegetables in a single layer and grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat.

Making Mashed Potatoes or Rice

  1. 7

    Cook Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 8

    Mash Potatoes

    Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  3. 9

    Alternatively Cook Rice

    If choosing rice, cook according to package instructions in a separate pot and season with salt and pepper.
