Tips:

  • Keep it fresh: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh walleye fillets. If you can't find fresh walleye, frozen fillets are also a good option.
  • Season it well: Season the walleye fillets generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
  • Get the coating right: The honey pecan crust is what makes this dish special. Make sure the fillets are evenly coated with the pecans and honey mixture before baking.
  • Bake it just right: The walleye should be baked until it is cooked through but still flaky. Overcooking will make the fish dry and tough.
  • Serve it with a zing: A squeeze of lemon or a dollop of tartar sauce adds a nice finishing touch to the dish.

Conclusion:

Fish honey pecan crusted walleye is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
