Thai Broiled Walleye.....melt equal parts butter and dry white wine on a sizzler platter.Once melted grate in fresh ginger to taste and add minced jalapenos to taste. coat walleyes in seasoned flour and place in the butter and wine mixture.Turn fillets over to moisten all the flour on the fillets and in the pan.Squeeze the juice of 1/2 fresh lime over the fillets on the platter.Most sizzler plates will hold one lg or two small fillets.Place under a preheated broiler close to the flame until it turns golden brown and bubbly.3 to 5 minutes depending on the broiler and thickness of the fillets. The flour,butter and wine makes a luxurious sauce. Serve with fresh homemade bread to sop up the sauce.

Fresh Walleye fillets from 17" to 19" fish.
#1. Fillet fish & leave skin & meat intact. Remove belly bones.
#2. Lightly rub olive oil into the exposed meat. (other cooking oils are
also acceptable) The oils purpose is to help keep the fillet meat
from drying out.
#3. Lightly rub-in soy sauce into the meat. Just enought to lightly
discolor the meat to a light brown.
#4. Lightly rub-in lemon juice
#5. Lightly sprinkle with your favorite seasoning salt. (Lauwrys,
Johnny Docks etc.)
#6. Sprinkle "Lemon Pepper" over the fillet meat.
#7. Bury the fillet with Parmesan Cheese. (Be generous with the cheese)

#8. Lay the fillet down directly on the grillls grate, skin side down.
(Suggest coating grill grate with Pam or similar to help keep
the skin from sticking to the grate.)
#9. Need to have a medium hot fire and a grill with a lid. Lay fillets
along the length of the grate, as it will help when removing fillet
with a spatula. Cover grill with lid.
#10. Cook until cheese turns light brown & back meat starts to split.
Normally 10+ minutes on grill.
#11. Remove & peal cooked meat from the skin with a fork while on
the serving plate.

Mike, that sounds great...something Ive never thought of...dont think it would fly with our whole cabin but its definitely something I will try with my own fillets when I get home..how long do you boil the chopped up walleye?

Mike & Glenman,

We have made a similar recipe substituting walleye for crab in a crab cake recipe. Wonderful!!! Last time I made it I just nuked the walleye fillets wrapped in wet paper towels for a minute and a half or less. As soon as the walleye flaked it was perfect.

make yourself a "boat" using heavy duty tin foil. put 4-6 pads of butter in the bottom of the boat. place walleye fillets on top of the butter, sprinkle with lemon pepper, chopped onions and a little lemon juice and place on grill for 12-14 minutes or until they flake. easy and a nice break from frying!!

Slugger Doug -- Would like to hear what your recipe is for baked walleye with white sauce. Sounds delicious!

Yep, do the same to get a break from frying. As a add include green pepper and just before finished top with schredded cheese, wrap in tortilla for a Walleye Burrito!

Keep the recipes coming, really like the wine idea. Any good shore lunch suggestions other than frying?

[LoDo]

Wrap bacon around of 1 x 1 or 2 x 2 cube/piece of walleye and stick a toothpick through the bacon and walleye to hold.

Baking in the over works, but I find it better to use the grill. Use PAM and spray the top of a sheet of tin foil, place bacon wrapped walleye on foil and grill.
* Be sure to have an edge on the sides of the tin foil when grilling.

Some people like to apply lemon or lime over the bacon wrapped walleye. Absolutely delicious!

For me it's plain old pan fried walleye in fish crsip with some homefries and beans. Nothing fancy but a taste I crave.

81saluki,
Sorry the reply took so long on the baked fish with creamy white sauce. Our cook was out of town. Ok here it is!!!
Ingredients:

Half stick of butter
One small shallot
Half cup of dry white wine
1 Tablespoon Dejon mustard
Half cup of heavy whipping cream

Procedure:

Peel and mince the shallot
Melt the butter in a skillet
Saute the shallots until they become soft
Add the wine and simmer until the liquid is reduced by about 2/3
Add the cream and allow to simmer for about a minute
Remove from heat and stir in the mustard
Serve over fish

Note: The recipe above should be enough for 4 fish. Adjust amounts of ingredients for more fish. Also, the thickness of the sauce can be adjusted by putting in more or less cream and/or simmering longer.
