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 the freshest walleye fillets you can find. Fresh walleye fillets should be firm and have a mild, sweet flavor. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Pat the walleye fillets dry before cooking. This will help to prevent the fillets from sticking to the pan and will also help to create a crispy crust.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or baking sheet. This will help to prevent the walleye fillets from sticking and will also make it easier to clean up afterwards.
  • Cook the walleye fillets over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fillets from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Cook the walleye fillets until they are opaque and flaky. This will ensure that the fillets are cooked through and safe to eat.
  • Serve the walleye fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for walleye fillets include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and tartar sauce.

Conclusion:

Baked walleye is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its mild flavor and flaky texture, walleye is a versatile fish that can be paired with a variety of sides. Whether you are new to cooking fish or you are a seasoned pro, this baked walleye recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
