Walleye Garlic Butter Recipe
We love walleye in Minnesota – it is our state fish after all. Frying walleye is a popular way to cook it and we love this simple recipe for fried walleye with a garlic butter sauce. If you’re looking for a different way to cook walleye, try this recipe for broiled walleye with mustard crust.
Mustard-Broiled Walleye
1½ lbs. walleye
2 Tbsp oil
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
Fresh lemon juice to taste
¼ cup chopped parsley
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Grated parmesan cheese
Preheat broiler. Place walleye in single layer on lightly greased broiler pan. Brush fish lightly with oil. Combine mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, parsley, and pepper; spread mixture onto fish. Broil walleye for 3 to 8 minutes, or until topping is browned and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. About one minute before the fish is completely cooked, sprinkle a bit of parmesan cheese on the top of the fish. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets. Place fish on heated platter; serve at once.
