BAKED WALLEYE WITH SHRIMP RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Baked Walleye with Shrimp Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Carolanne

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 lbs. walleye fillets
1 egg
1/2 Cup water
1 Cup flour
1 tsp. salt (Cliff likes COARSE SEA SALT)
1 tsp. GROUND WHITE PEPPER
1 Cup bread crumbs
1-2 tsp. LEMON PEPPER, RUTH ANN'S MUSKEGO AVE. or SUNNY SPAIN, optional
1/2 Cup vegetable oil
1/4 Cup butter
1/2 Cup chopped onion (1 small)
1/2 Cup chopped celery (1-2 ribs)
1/2 Cup chopped red bell pepper (1/2 pepper)
1/2 Cup chopped orange or yellow bell pepper (1/2 pepper)
1 lb. medium shrimp, shelled (Cliff uses wild shrimp)
1/4-1/2 Cup shredded cheese, optional (Parmesan or mozzarella would both be nice)

Steps:

  • In a wide, shallow bowl, beat together the egg and the water. On a plate with a rim, combine the flour, salt and WHITE PEPPER and mix well. Put the bread crumbs on a second rimmed plate. Sprinkle the fillets with LEMON PEPPER, MUSKEGO AVE. or SUNNY SPAIN (if using). Dip the fillets in the seasoned flour, then in the egg wash and then in the breadcrumbs. Heat the oil in a large, heavy frying pan. Fry the fillets, being sure not to overcrowd, until nicely browned on both sides. Undercooking is better than overcooking. Set all the cooked fillets aside and keep warm. In the same pan, drain off the vegetable oil, trying to leave any browned bits in the pan, and melt the butter. Sauté the onions, celery and peppers until soft and set aside. Cook the shrimp until done in the same pan. Put the veggies in a baking pan; add the shrimp and then the walleye fillets in one layer. Sprinkle with cheese if desired. Broil for a few minutes to melt/brown cheese or just to crisp everything up and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm walleye fillets: Look for fillets that are bright and have a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong odor.
  • Pat the walleye fillets dry before cooking: This will help the fish to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the walleye fillets generously with salt and pepper: This will help to bring out the natural flavor of the fish.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or baking dish: This will help to prevent the fish from sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Cook the walleye fillets over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and drying out.
  • Bake the walleye fillets for 10-12 minutes, or until they are cooked through: The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the walleye fillets immediately with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for walleye include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Baked walleye is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and flaky fish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious dinner option, give baked walleye a try. You won't be disappointed!
