How to Make Baked Walleye

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Dip each walleye fillet (about 1 pound total) in the butter mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  4. Place the fillets in a shallow baking dish.
  5. Sauté 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and 1/2 cup of sliced onions in 1 tablespoon of butter until softened (about 5 minutes).
  6. Arrange the sautéed mushrooms and onions over the walleye fillets.
  7. Spoon any remaining butter mixture from the bowl over the fish and vegetables.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
