How to Make Baked Walleye
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
- Dip each walleye fillet (about 1 pound total) in the butter mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Place the fillets in a shallow baking dish.
- Sauté 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and 1/2 cup of sliced onions in 1 tablespoon of butter until softened (about 5 minutes).

- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
