Baked Walleye with Honey Lemon Sauce

By Kris Winkelman

Sweet citrus this is a delicious dish! The first time I made it, my family couldn¹t get enough. Be prepared for the same thing in your home, and make sure you prepare enough. I like to use fillets from a 4 to 5-pound walleye, but you can also use northern pike, striper or whatever species you prefer from your part of the country.

Ingredients:

Two large walleye fillets
2 tablespoons honey
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup onion (sliced)
1/2 stick butter
1/4 cup Vermouth

4 tablespoons lemon juice

Spread honey on walleye; add salt and pepper to taste. Lay onion slices over top of fish. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine melted butter, lemon juice and Vermouth, then pour the mixture over the fish and bake in a preheated 450-degree oven for about 20 minutes, uncovered. After 20 minutes, cover and bake at 300 degrees until the fish flakes.
