Grilled Vegetables

Mashed Potatoes or Rice

Method

Walleye Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Walleye

    Pat the walleye fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Almonds

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced almonds and sauté until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Walleye

    In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and heat until melted. Place the seasoned walleye fillets in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 4

    Add Garlic and Lemon

    During the last minute of cooking, add minced garlic and lemon juice to the skillet, spooning the mixture over the fish.

  5. 5

    Finish with Almonds

    Once the walleye is cooked, sprinkle the sautéed almonds over the top before serving.

Grilled Vegetables Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Vegetables

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

  2. 7

    Grill the Vegetables

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the vegetable mixture on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are tender and have grill marks.

Mashed Potatoes or Rice Preparation

  1. 8

    Cook the Potatoes

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 9

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add butter, milk, and salt to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.

  3. 10

    Cook the Rice (if chosen)

    In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
