Looking for a healthy fish recipe

[Mike Walerak]

I guess you could say my wife is on another health kick so deep frying fish is out of the question. Does anyone have any recipes for grilling and baking walleyes?

you could try coating them in just about anything that you think should taste good and plop them under the broiler, they should cook in under ten minutes

i don't care for pan frying fish anymore after i discovered broiling them, when you pan fry, the whole house stinks like grease

[Brother Bro]

If you have the skin on the fillets like walleye's or even crappies and northern's one can do them on the grill....I hardly ever do fish in grease any more..... I do that all the time... Season for your tastes... I use Lipton herb and garlic with melted butter baste... em..em good..

I agree, broiled fish is great.

Never tried fish on the grill except salmon. I'll have to give some a try!

When you put fish in the broiler or grill with the skin on do you need to scale the fish? Thanks Bobcat

You can also microwave them.Add seasoning if you like and put in microwave and cook till they turn white and start to flake.Only takes a few minutes for a few fillets.Your probably thinking the same thing I was when someone told me this but you would be surprised on how well this works.

I don't scale it. Once it comes off the grill, the meat comes right off the skin. I usually put foil on the grill under the skin, it helps contain the juices and the skin sticks to it really well :-) Helps me lift the meat off but leave the skin behind.

I'll second the microwave, it works good, put a little dab of margerine on each fillet, sprinkle with lemon pepper or venison seasoning, cover with saran wrap!!!, and you have a quick and easy fish meal.

I'll have to try that 'skin on' grilling method. I have put fillets on foil on the grill, basted with butter, very good!

We use a microwaveable sreamer, it is a bowel with a plastic riser with holes in it, put a 1/4 cup of water in the bowel under the riser, then the fish on top of riser, on the fish put a dab of butter, real lemon juice, pepper, and a trace of salt, sometimes we use garlic salt, microw. till flaky, these are steamed fish and real tasty.

I’ll let you guys in on my secret Parmesan Encrusted Walleye recipe. Through A LOT of trial and error I have finally come up with one that my friends all rave about. You will need: eggs, milk, fresh grated parmesan cheese, seasoned croutons (I like the Italian Seasoned), I can believe it’s not butter spray, Garlic Salt, Oregano and of course Walleye Fillets.

Pre-heat the oven to 500 degrees.

Crack an egg in a bowl and mix well with a small amount of milk. It should be thick.

Put croutons in a freezer bag and crush them up into crumbs, NOT powder.

Butter a pan that can handle high heat. I use the broil pan that came with the oven.

Dip the fish in the egg and then put it into the crouton crumb bag. I will actually press the crumbs into the fillets a little. I have found that you can’t have too many croutons on the fillets.

Set the fillets on the buttered pan.

Sprinkle lightly with Garlic Salt and Oregano. (You can add this to the croutons but I found that it is more consistent to sprinkle it on).

Spray fillets with the ‘I can’t believe it’s not butter’ spray. This will turn the croutons into a crust when you cook it as well as make the cheese stick to the fillet.

Put some of the Parmesan Cheese on top. How much cheese you use it up to you. I like a lot of cheese my wife likes less. The cheese will turn into a light-brown crust, it will not melt.

Bake for 6-7 minutes on the middle rack and then check it. If it flakes, it’s done. Serve hot! I have noticed that it is not nearly as good if the butter cools down.

Give it a try.

Thanks everyone I'm getting hungry just thinking about my next meal of fish.

I've only done this with Halibut, but you could try cutiing the fillets into chunks and boiling them in 7-up. Works great with Halibut. You'd have to season or squirt some lemon on them after to help out the taste.

Put aluminum foil in a baking pan. Put a layer of panfish fillets, then top with thin slices of lemon and onion. Repeat the layers and top with a couple of bay leaves. Seal up and bake until the fish is flaky. If you're not watching calories you can ad a couple pats of butter on top before sealing and baking. Be sure to get your share before you let the kids at it or you won't get any. I learned that the hard way.

Microwave Fish:

Melt 1/8 to 1/4 lb of butter and to this add 1 Tbs of parley and 1 Tbs of lemon juice.

Arrange fillets in a 2"x8"x12" baking dish and season however you like. I use Old Bay Spice and Lemon Pepper.

Pour butter mixture over fish and coat well. Top with some type of cracker crumb mixture. I use Ritz crackers, Oyster crackers and or Corn Flakes.

Cover with wax paper and microwave on high for 9 to 11 minutes, rotating pan after 5 minutes.

Serve with tartar sauce and cole slaw.

Try this tin foil baked fish recipe. After years of fried fish up at Lac Seul I tried this on the camp and now we are down to one meal of fried fish for the week.

Lay your fillets on a big sheet of tin foil. Season as desired but try some Old Bay Spice and Lemon Pepper. Add a couple of tablespoons of butter and sprinkle a little grated paresan cheese over the fish.

Cover fish with sliced onions and fresh green beans. Add a few slices of red or green pepper and top this with more grated paresan.

Seal up tinfoil tight and bake at 325 for 15 to 25 minutes.

Try this same recipe with onions and asparagus. You can also add sliced tomatoes which can do wonders to enhance fish but the grean pepper in my mind is key. The nice thing about this recipe is you can make up several packs ahead of time and bake them all at once to feed a big crew.

I found a product called Bakin' Miracle next to the shake n' bake at the store. Use like Shake n'bake, 375 oven for 25- 30 minutes on a nonstick baking pan. It only costs about $1.35 per pound and you use as much as needed, I use empty bread bags for the shakin part, It's quick easy and tasty.
