Walleye Preparation

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    For Grilled Walleye

    Prepare the walleye fillets for grilling.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Coat the walleye fillets with the marinade and let them sit for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Fillets

    Place the marinated walleye fillets on the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    For Breaded Walleye

    If you prefer a breaded version, prepare the fillets by dipping them in a beaten egg, then coating them with breadcrumbs.

  6. 6

    Fry the Breaded Fillets

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded walleye fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the grilled or breaded walleye hot, with lemon wedges on the side.
