Walleye Gumbo Recipe 395

Steps:

• Sauté the bacon and reserve. Heat the bacon fat until it just begins to smoke, then add an equal amount of flour, whisking until the mixture (roux) turns the color of a brown paper bag. Add the onion, celery, green pepper, red pepper, garlic, cayenne, white pepper, thyme, oregano, reserved bacon, and chicken broth. Cook gently for 15 minutes. Add the smoked sausage and fish. Simmer gently for about seven minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve garnished with cooked white rice.

Steps:

• 1) Rinse walleye fillets; pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle walleye with salt and pepper to taste. In shallow dish, combine melted butter, mustard, 2 tablespoons of parsley, lemon juice, & cayenne pepper. In separate dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese & remaining 2 tablespoons of parsley. 2) Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit. Coat walleye fillets in butter mixture, then evenly coat in breadcrumb mixture. Place coated walleye fillets on unlined baking sheet. Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown & flakes easily. 3) Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook & stir 2 minutes. Add garlic & cook 30 seconds. Add bok choy, red pepper flakes, & salt to taste. Serve walleye fillets on bed of bok choy.

Steps:

• Check the fillets to ensure all bones and skin have been removed. Cut the fillets into manageable pieces, if necessary.
• Place the beaten eggs a bowl and set aside. Combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in another bowl. Pour the cracker crumbs into a third bowl.
• Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Dip the fillets into the flour mixture, then the eggs, and then the cracker crumbs and set fillets aside on a plate. Test the oil: it will crackle and pop when a cracker crumb is dropped into it. Carefully lower 2 fillets into the hot oil. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side, using tongs to turn the fillets. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining fillets. Serve with fresh lemon wedges.
