Ingredients

Walleye

Roasted Vegetables

Roasted Potatoes

Preparation

Preparation of Walleye

1. Season the Walleye

Pat the walleye fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix the Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper together. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the fillets on both sides.

2. Cook the Walleye

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the seasoned walleye fillets in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and has a nice blackened crust. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Preparation of Roasted Vegetables

3. Prepare the Vegetables

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Chop the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces and place them on a baking sheet.

4. Season and Roast the Vegetables

Drizzle the olive oil over the chopped vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to combine and spread the vegetables in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.

Preparation of Roasted Potatoes

5. Prepare the Potatoes

Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half. Place them in a large bowl.

6. Season and Roast the Potatoes

Drizzle olive oil over the halved potatoes, then add dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are well coated. Spread them on a separate baking sheet and roast in the oven (alongside the vegetables) for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and fork-tender, turning halfway through.
