Blackened Walleye

Marinate fillets in refrigerator for two hours in olive oil, into which 3 garlic cloves have been pressed or minced. After marinating blot excess oil from the fillets and dip in melted butter.

Spice topping: mix together in a shaker container:

½ tsp. cayenne (red) pepper

1 ½ tsp. paprika

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp. garlic powder

½ tsp. white pepper

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp oregano

½ tsp. thyme

crushed red pepper (optional)

Sprinkle spices evenly over both sides of fillets. Cooking is best done in cast iron skillet outdoors. Heat skillet as hot as possible. Place fillets in skillet and cook until done on one side, turn over and continue cooking until done. While cooking spread melted butter on each side of fillet. (Be careful because butter may flame up)

Note: triple spice recipe fills a spice sized bottle

Walleye on the grill

Batter:

½ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup soy sauce

1/8 cup horseradish

Mix batter together. Dip fish into batter and cook directly on grill. (It is better to have a fish basket, which hold the fish better while cooking on a grill)

Beer battered Walleye

1 cup saltine crackers

1 cup flower

½ tsp. salt & pepper

1/8 tsp. nutmeg & thyme

1 can beer

Mix ingredients together then add the beer until you get a good batter. Dip your fish in the batter then deep or pan fry. Try adding your favorite spices. (Note: with most fish batters allow your fish to air dry first on a rack. This allows the batter to stick to the fish better)
