Grilled Walleye With Citrus Butter
Image From thespruceeats.com
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup coarsely chopped, toasted pecans, divided
2 teaspoons orange juice
1 teaspoon fresh chives
12 ounces walleye fillets
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Combine the butter, half of the pecans, orange juice, and fresh chives in a small bowl
Preheat the grill. Once hot, take a 12-inch square piece of aluminum foil and cut 2-inch slits into it every 2 inches. Spray it with a nonstick spray or brush it with oil and then place it on the grill.
Put the walleye fillets on the foil and sprinkle them with salt and pepper
Grill for 6 to 9 minutes. Top the fillets with the pecan butter. Grill for an additional 2 to 3 minutes; the fillets are done when the fish flakes easily with a fork and has reached an internal temperature of 140 F.
Remove the fish from the heat and sprinkle the fillets with the remaining pecan pieces before serving.
