PAN SEARED WALLEYE (LEMON PEPPER)

Steps:

• Heat a skillet to medium heat and add the oil or butter to the pan.
• Season the walleye filets generously with lemon pepper seasoning.
• Place the fish right over the melted butter.
• Then put a pan over the top of the fish. This creates steam in the inside of the pan.
• Cook the fish 4 to 5 minutes per side or until the fish reaches a temperature of 145 degrees. The walleye will turn white when it is done cooking.

BEST FRIED WALLEYE

Steps:

• Check the fillets to ensure all bones and skin have been removed. Cut the fillets into manageable pieces, if necessary.
• Place the beaten eggs a bowl and set aside. Combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in another bowl. Pour the cracker crumbs into a third bowl.
• Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Dip the fillets into the flour mixture, then the eggs, and then the cracker crumbs and set fillets aside on a plate. Test the oil: it will crackle and pop when a cracker crumb is dropped into it. Carefully lower 2 fillets into the hot oil. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side, using tongs to turn the fillets. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining fillets. Serve with fresh lemon wedges.

SAUTEED WALLEYE WITH CITRUS BUTTER

Steps:

• WALLEYE: Rinse walleye and soak in milk for 1 hour. Season fish with salt and dust in Black Walnut Batter Mix. Heat oil in large saute pan. Place fish in pan and cook until golden, approximately 5-6 minutes. Remove from pan. Serve with warm Citrus Butter and parsley garnish.
• CITRUS BUTTER: Place garlic and butter in blender and process until well blended. Transfer to bowl. Whisk in remaining ingredients.

PAN SEARED WALLEYE WITH CELERY ROOT PUREE AND APPLE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Saute walleye over high heat until golden brown and flip. Place in the oven for 4 to 6 minutes or until fish is cooked to medium (about 140 degrees F).
• Boil diced celery root and Granny Smith apples in salted water until tender and remove from liquid. Add butter and mash with potato masher until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toss julienned apples with lemon oil and watercress and set aside. Place a small amount of puree on each plate and cover with a piece of fish. Garnish with apple salad.
