Walleye Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Wild Rice Pilaf

   In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the wild rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes or until the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Mushroom Cream

   In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until translucent. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until soft. Pour in the heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and simmer until thickened. Set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Ritz Herb Breaded Walleye

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, combine crushed Ritz crackers and chopped herbs. Coat each walleye fillet with olive oil, then press into the cracker mixture to coat. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4. 4

   Bake the Walleye

   Bake the breaded walleye in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

5. 5

   Serve

   On each plate, serve a portion of wild rice pilaf, top with the baked walleye, and drizzle with the mushroom cream sauce. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
