Provided by Sherry Ronning

Categories     Main Meals

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Walleye Fillets 2 lbs (973 g)
Onion, White - Sliced 1/2 cup (1.25 oz) (35 g)
Olive Oil 1 tablespoon (0.55 oz) (16 g)
Lawry's, seasoned salt 1/2 teaspoon (0.1 oz) (3 g)
Morton's Seasoning Blend 1/4 teaspoon (0.05 oz) (1 g)

Steps:

  • Gather all of your ingredients to make your oven-baked walleye.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
  • Using a standard baking sheet, cut a piece of foil that is double the size of the sheet pan.
  • Cover the sheet pan with ½ of the foil so that the shiny side is down, and the dull side of the foil is up. The idea of this is to be able to fold the other ½ of the foil over the fish and seal to cook.
  • Spread the olive oil on the sheet pan foil.
  • Sprinkle some of the seasoned salt and pepper onto the oiled foil.
  • Lay the walleye fillets in a single layer on top of the seasoned oil, making sure that you are doing this on the sheet pan.
  • Lightly season the fish fillets one last time.
  • Slice the onion into thin rings, separate the rings and place onto the top of the walleye fillets.
  • Fold the foil over so that you are completely covering fish. Roll the foil ends together starting with the opposite side of the folded foil. Then roll both the end sides to completely sealing the fish into the foil pouch.
  • With a sharp knife, gently poke a few holes into the top of the foil pouch. Make sure to not puncture the bottom of the foil.
  • How Long to Bake Walleye?Place the sheet pan into the pre-heated oven and bake for 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Check the oven baked walleye fish after 30 minutes to see if the fish is done. To do this, use a fork to try and flake the thickest part of the fish. You want the fish to flake easily and be white in color. If you see any translucent color or if the fillets do not want to flake apart easily, then put back into the oven and cook for 10 - 15 minutes longer.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: Select firm-fleshed fish fillets such as cod, tilapia, or salmon.
  • Season the fish: Before baking, season the fillets with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings. You can also add herbs, spices, or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.
  • Use a nonstick baking sheet: To prevent the fish from sticking, use a nonstick baking sheet or line a regular baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Leave some space between the fish fillets so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake at the right temperature: The ideal baking temperature for fish fillets is 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that the fish cooks through without drying out.
  • Check the fish for doneness: Insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If it flakes easily, it is done. If not, continue baking for a few more minutes.

Conclusion:

Baking fish fillets in the oven is a simple and healthy way to cook fish. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your fish fillets turn out perfectly cooked and flavorful. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad, for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy your delicious baked fish fillets!
