Tips:

  • Choose fresh walleye fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a light pink color. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have any off odors.
  • Make sure the fillets are completely thawed before cooking. If the fillets are still frozen, they will not cook evenly.
  • Pat the fillets dry before cooking. This will help the herb crust adhere to the fish.
  • Use a light touch when coating the fillets in the herb crust. You don't want the crust to be too thick, or it will overwhelm the delicate flavor of the fish.
  • Cook the fillets over medium heat. This will help prevent the fish from overcooking and drying out.
  • Serve the fillets immediately after cooking. Walleye is best served hot and fresh.
