Best way to cook walleye?

[rundrave]

lately I have just been keeping in simple and like to brush olive oil on each side and season with salt, pepper and some dill. I then put slices of lemon over top and bake in the oven until done.

quick and easy clean up and no frying smell or grease to deal with.

Great, easy grilling recipe.

Put a layer of foil on the grill. (Very low heat!)

Dip walleye fillets in olive oil, place on foil, grind Weber steak seasoning generously onto fillets. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes then turn fillets over for another 3 or 4 minutes.

Add salt and pepper to taste on them if wanted when you serve.

Very tasty!

"Best" most people will likely say battered and deep fried. Healthy and delicious is just as good in my book. I go with a little butter rubbed over the filet, with some light seasoned salt and light dill - baked or grilled

This is pretty much all we do now that my son is on a gluton free diet. We like lemon pepper, garlic powder and dill weed. I dont bother flipping them though.

Has anyone ever scaled their walleye filets and eaten them skin-on like salmon?

No to scale, yes to havning them skin on (camping, cooked on fire, no grate/ foil to put the fillets in so left the skin on to hold fillet together).

I have to ask- if you are cooking fish skin on (like salmon) and not eating the skin- why would you scale it?

[SkunkedAgain]

I'm talking about eating the skin as you would do with salmon.

Really? Honestly- never tried it. Learn something everyday. My cat would be quite upset though. :-)

I've ate hundreds of salmon but never with the skin on. My dog likes the skin though.

It depends on how you cook it. I only like salmon skin when it's crispy, like when you eat panfish scaled and battered. Usually if you dry the salmon skin well and then grill it or panfry, it gets nice and crispy. You can season it as well for extra flavor.

I was just wondering if anyone ever does it with walleye. I can't imagine that I'm the first but I'll give it a try as soon as I get a chance to catch another.

[wahoo]

Yes, eyes with skin on and scaled when fried with any of the good recipes mentioned (I like flour and panko) is delicious--especially on smaller eyes. We really do not keep many over 18 or so to eat. It also is good with LOW saugers which do not usually get huge.
