Cajun Blackened Walleye

Method

Cajun Blackened Walleye Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Walleye

    Pat the walleye fillets dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning adhere better.

  2. 2

    Season the Fillets

    Generously coat both sides of each fillet with Cajun seasoning.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  4. 4

    Cook the Fillets

    Carefully place the seasoned fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the blackened walleye with lemon wedges on the side.
