How to Make Mojo Walleye

In a large plastic zipper bag, combine 2 (6-ounce) walleye fillets with the marinade ingredients.
Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
**For Grilling/Broiling:** Preheat grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Grill or broil walleye for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
**For Pan-frying:** Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup dried unseasoned breadcrumbs and 2 tablespoons cornmeal. Dredge walleye fillets in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Pan-fry for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
