Walleye Omelets Recipes

PERFECT OMELET

Steps:

• Beat the eggs: Soak 3 large eggs for 5 minutes in hot-not scalding-tap water. This will ensure that the omelet cooks faster, and the faster an omelet cooks, the more tender it's going to be. Crack the eggs into a small bowl or large bowl-shaped coffee mug. Season with a pinch of fine salt. Beat the eggs gently with a fork.
• TIP: I prefer a fork to a whisk for omelets because I don't want to work air into the eggs: Air bubbles are insulators and can slow down cooking if you're not careful.
• Heat the pan: Heat a 10-inch nonstick saute pan over medium to high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon room-temperature unsalted butter. Once melted, spread the butter around the pan with a basting brush to ensure coverage.
• TIP: Heat your pan empty for a few minutes before adding the butter: Even a nonstick surface is pocked with microscopic pores that eggs can fill and grab hold of. Heat expands the metal, squeezing these openings shut.
• Add the eggs: Pour the eggs into the center of the pan and stir vigorously with a silicone spatula for 5 seconds. (Actually, it's not so much a matter of stirring with the spatula as holding the spatula relatively still and moving the pan around to stir the eggs.)
• Let them cook: As soon as curds begin to form (that's the stuff that looks like scrambled eggs), lift the pan and tilt it around until the excess liquid pours off the top of the curds and into the pan. Then use the spatula to shape the edge and make sure the omelet isn't sticking. Move the spatula around the edge of the egg mixture to help shape it into a round and loosen the edge. Then walk away. That's right-let that omelet sit unaccosted for 10 long seconds so it can develop a proper outer crust. Don't worry: Your patience will be rewarded.
• Finish the omelet: Time for the "jiggle" step: Simply shake the pan gently to make sure the omelet is indeed free of the pan. Lift up the far edge of the pan and snap it back toward you. Then use the spatula to fold over the one-third facing you.
• Change your grip on the pan handle from an overhand to an underhand and move to the plate, which you might want to lube with just a brief brushing of butter to make sure things don't bind up in transit. Slide the one-third farthest from you onto the plate and then ease the fold over. Imagine that you're making a tri-fold wallet out of eggs-because that's exactly what you're doing. And just ease the pan over. There, that wasn't so hard.

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.

BAKED WALLEYE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Dip fish in melted butter, salt, pepper and lemon juice.
• Place fish fillets into shallow baking pan.
• Place mushrooms and onions over the top of fish, then spoon any remaining butter mixture over fish.
• Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until fish flakes.

HONEY-FRIED WALLEYE

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, beat egg and honey. In another bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, flour, salt and pepper. Dip fillets into egg mixture, then coat with crumb mixture. , In a large skillet, heat 1/4 in. of oil; fry fish over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork. Drizzle with honey.

WALLEYE OMELET'S

Steps:

• Walleye Omelet's.
• • Depending on the size of the fillets, I usually use 3-4 or 2 large fillets. Wash thoroughly and pat dry.
• • Use a large piece of heavy aluminum foil or dbl regular thickness. Cut large enough to be able to fold over at the seam & both ends.
• • Spray the flat foil w/ margarine. Lay fillets in middle of foil.
• • Dress w/ fresh mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, green and/or red pepper. I like to use both kinds of peppers. I also like artichokes, but that's optional.
• • Garlic clove or to your preference.
• • Sprinkle w/ croutons or Italian bread crumbs.
• • Sprinkle w/ Italian dressing or balsam vinegar. A dash of hot sauce or more to preference. It gives it a nice, but not over powering kick. If you don't have salad dressing or vinegar, use red or white wine...a great alternative.
• • Squeeze a ½ lemon or lime per package. Use the other after opening and ready to eat.
• • Season w/ lemon pepper, course pepper, paprika, dill weed and fresh parsley if you have it. Don't be afraid to experiment or use alternative seasoning to your taste.
• • Cut 2-3 pats of real butter on top.
• • Fold over length-wise and both ends...not too tight.
• • Place each packet over hot (white) coals or high on a barbeque.
• • Cook for 8-10 minutes. If heat is not even, move packets front to back or turn 180.
• • You should be able to hear it "cooking/bubbling" and/or until fish fillets are opaque white.
• • Open to check if needed. Remove from heat onto a large platter or cookie sheet.
• • Lay on dinner plate...open and smell the aroma....ENJOY!
