Fishing Opener - Easy Baked Walleye Recipe with Lemon & Butter
Image From foodnetwork.com
4 (6 ounce) fresh walleye fillets (or frozen and thawed)
4 tablespoons butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Lemon, sliced
Flat leaf parsley, diced, for serving
To begin, preheat oven to 400℉. Prepare a baking sheet by covering the pan with a sheet of parchment paper.
Combine butter and minced garlic in a heat-safe small bowl or measuring cup in the microwave for about 45 seconds, until the butter is fully melted. Remove and add the fresh squeezed lemon juice.
Dry walleye fillets well using paper towels or a tea towel. Place fish fillets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. (If cooking green beans or asparagus, add around the edges of the pan). Pour the melted butter garlic sauce over the fish, sprinkle each fillet with paprika salt and pepper, and add a thin lemon slice to the top of fish fillets.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until internal temperature of fish reaches 145 degrees and flakes easily.
Remove from the oven, top with diced fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges and Mediterranean rice.
