I got tired of fried fish, so now I bake them. This recipe is simple and tasty, without the mess!

Preheat oven to 450.

In a 8"x8" pan (or similar size) lay the fillets flat.

Add 1-1/2 to 2 tablespoons melted butter per fillet.

Add 1 teaspoon of Real Lemon Juice per fillet.

Should almost be covered.

sprinkler with lemon pepper, add crushed bread crumbs, or corn flakes, and slivered almonds.

Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or until flaky.

Is Bucaman in reference to Buca Di Beppo, my favorite restaurant? We haven't been there for a while, maybe this Saturday...

I much prefer broiled or baked walleye to deep fried.

So many of the commercial batters and beer batters obscure the taste and flavor of the fish -- walleye deserve much better.

A stir fry with lemon pepper and onion is a delight, without enveloping the fillet in batter or goo.

Walleye Vindaloo
In a non stick pan fry a couple garlic cloves and a chopped half an onion in a little missoula oil or whatever (butter-olive) - low heat. add half a grated carrot,a handful of froze peas, add a cup of chicken broth (canned or from boullion), stir in a Tablespoon of vindaloo or other curry paste (Patak brand is good ( SPICY ) , carefully add walleye or crappie fillets, cover and simmer (low temp) for 10 min. Serve on bed of steamed rice with sauce ladled over the top. dessert? vanilla ice cream with fresh ripe mango slices!!!

Robert . . .You made the call! I work for Buca di Beppo in their Home Office, but I used to work at the downtown Minneapolis location. If you ever need a reservation or anything just let me know!!

Buca Man ... Bucas' fresh green beans sauteed in olive oil and lemon juice would be a great side for most any walleye dish, I could live on that stuff.

A guy at work told me he takes walleye fillets puts them in cheesecloth and boils them. While there boiling he throws in some red potatoes and veggies. He serves the walleye with drawn butter. Once hard water hits I'm sure gonna try it!

That's only a very slight variation of the Door County Lake Michigan fish boil.

Add small onions, and leave the skin on the potatoes (having sliced off an end to allow the spuds to absorb flavor). To be a traditionalist, top it off with a slice of cherry pie for dessert.

Thanks for all the help! I think I'm going to try big dipper's with a side of the green beans. Just one question: is there a substitue for peas . . . my girlfriend doesn't like them.

BUCA MAN, You might try dicing a small tomato, or a few cauliflower florets (I've been thinking of throwing in a dozen medium size shrimp next time I make it). If you get a jar of Patak curry paste they have some suggestions. The Madras paste comes in a mild , The Vindaloo is pretty hot and a little sour, (good with fish)

Buca man: I mas just wondering if your girlfriend was impressed with your culinary expertise. Re: walleye curry

[Guest]

Buca....Here is one that I use often...

Buy Lipton Savory Herb with Garlic mix
there is 2 packets in a box.

melt a 1/4 stick of butter and mix one packet of savory Herb and garlic...

catch some walleyes leave skin on ... light grill.... after grill is warm prepare walleyes by putting butter/herb garlic mix on with a spoon cover freely...be careful butter will burn on grill... then add walleyes skin down on grill.... ususally about 10 - 15 minutes the top of the walleyes will be golden brown on top... the skins will turn black but I can tell you it will not come thru to the fish..... fish will peel right off the skin.

serve with liquid of choice and enjoy.....

matter of fact just had some tonight

Good Luck
