Healthy recipe?


Recommended Posts

Anyone have ideas on what would be a tasty yet healthy recipe for making walleye or crappie fillets? I'm getting a little tired of the typical grease with shorelunch meals. (would also like to eat a little healthier too!)

Grill, oven, boiled...any of those would be great!

thanks

I like to take a couple of fillets and lay them on a sheet of alluminum foil that has been sprayed with Pam. I role the edges of the foil to make a pan out of it. I like to put a little lemon juice (1/2 ounce per fillet or so) and some seasoning salt on it. I like Lowrys but season it with whatever you would like.

Then I put them on the gas grill for 10 to 12 minutes over medium heat. When the meat flakes apart it is done.

You can add a couple of pads of butter to this to but you did say you wanted to make it healthy.

Enjoy

I was going to put something similar. I layer crappie or sunny fillets with slices of lemon and mild onion and on top of a couple layers of each, put one or two bay leaves. Seal the foil and grill or bake. Butter is optional. A word of caution, get your share before the kids get to it. I made that years ago when my boys were young and I was told," Gee, dad, that was good, you should have had some."

I make salmon in the packets with a pat of butter on each 4" square of salmon filet. I've used "I can't believe it's not butter spray" too Or another butter flavored spray my wife buys...can't remember the name, Smart Start Spray or something like that. Put a slice of lemon on each piece of fish, a couple rings of raw onion, Lawyreys (sp?) seasoned salt, black pepper, and oregano. Seal the fish in a packet with a little space to steam and pop them on the grill or in the oven on broil for a few minutes. I just eat it right out of the pouch with a fork and a plat of new potatos but my wife crumbles it on top of her salad.

It works well for Salmon. I'm sure it will work for any other type of fish as well. Might want to adjust the seasonings to suit the type of fish though.

I usually bake my fish. It don't matter what kind. Lay the fillets in a glass baking dish and sprinkle with lemon pepper, garlic, parsley, and maybe a little basil. Spray a little bit of I can't believe its not butter on the fillets. Bake at 350 until the meat flakes.

One of my most favorite ways to do fish (or grouse, squirrel, rabbit, or pheasant) is to simply grill in a foil boat with red wine vinegar and a light drizzle of olive oil with cracked black pepper, ground basil, and kosher salt. It is very light, but very flavorful. I have done this with game in a frying pan with the same wonderful results. I don't know if fish would work in a pan as well because of the flaking. Try it out-it is delicous and you won't feel like dump after eating it wink.gif!

This is possibly the best Walleye recipie That I have ever had. It originally was for catfish and came from Chef Paul in New Orleans.

1 Tsp salt

3/4 Tsp Basil

1/2 Tsp Dry Mustard

1/4 Tsp Coarse ground Black Pepper

1/4 Tsp White Pepper

1/4 Tsp Onion Powder

1/4 Tsp Garlic Powder

1/4 Tsp Oregeno

1/8 Tsp Cayenne Pepper

Mix ingredients in a small bowl.Clean and skin fillets remove excess moisture with a paper towel. Heat A skillet with about 1/2 tsp of cooking oil, if using nonstick, Pam will do, get hot. Sprinkle seasoning on one side of fish only, place in skillet, seasoned side down, then season other side of fillet. Flip fillet only once.

    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
