Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces walleye fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 spray can non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F).
Rinse the walleye fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Brush the olive oil and herb mixture evenly over both sides of the walleye fillets.
Spray the grill grates with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the seasoned walleye fillets on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side.
Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the grilled walleye from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with extra parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
Enjoy your delicious Grilled Walleye with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal!
