How to Make Walleye With Sour Cream Dill Sauce

  1. Pat 1 pound of walleye fillets dry with paper towels.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup cornmeal.
  3. Dredge the walleye fillets in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the walleye fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. (Internal temperature should reach 145°F).
  6. Remove the walleye from the skillet and set aside, keeping warm.
  7. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel, leaving any browned bits behind for extra flavor.
  8. Increase the heat to medium-high and add 1/2 cup dry white wine to the skillet. Cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the wine is reduced by half.
  9. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in 1 cup sour cream until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat.
  10. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  11. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Pour the sauce over the walleye fillets and serve immediately.
