Walleye Garlic Butter Recipe

We love walleye in Minnesota – it is our state fish after all. Frying walleye is a popular way to cook it and we love this simple recipe for fried walleye with a garlic butter sauce. If you’re looking for a different way to cook walleye, try this recipe for broiled walleye with mustard crust.

Mustard-Broiled Walleye

1½ lbs. walleye

2 Tbsp oil

2 Tbsp mayonnaise

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

Fresh lemon juice to taste

¼ cup chopped parsley

Freshly ground pepper to taste

Grated parmesan cheese

Preheat broiler. Place walleye in single layer on lightly greased broiler pan. Brush fish lightly with oil. Combine mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, parsley, and pepper; spread mixture onto fish. Broil walleye for 3 to 8 minutes, or until topping is browned and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. About one minute before the fish is completely cooked, sprinkle a bit of parmesan cheese on the top of the fish. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets. Place fish on heated platter; serve at once.
