Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the ends of the asparagus and blanch them in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until bright green. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make Lemon Butter Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Walleye

    Heat olive oil and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season walleye fillets with salt and pepper. Place fillets in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Plate the mashed potatoes, topped with the sautéed walleye and asparagus. Drizzle lemon butter sauce over the fish and serve immediately.
