Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Walleye (zander) filets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Sweet Hungarian paprika
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 medium Tomatoes, diced
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 1 cup Chicken or fish stock
- 0.75 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the walleye filets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of Hungarian paprika.
Dredge the filets lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the filets for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the filets from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Lower the heat to medium, then add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the peppers are slightly softened.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and the remaining 1 tablespoon of paprika. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Pour in the chicken or fish stock, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then return the seared walleye filets to the skillet.
Cover the skillet and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the walleye filets are fully cooked and flaky. Be careful not to overcook the fish.
Remove the skillet from the heat and gently stir in the sour cream to create a creamy sauce. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice, noodles, or crusty bread on the side.
