Substitutions
- White wine — Although we utilized lemon juice in our baked walleye recipe, it can be easily replaced with white wine. Simply add 1 tbsp. white wine into the mixture instead of lemon juice. If you’re not feeling like cooking with wine, then feel free to opt for any other citrus juice.
Variations
- Sticky and crispy — One of the good things about this baked walleye recipe is that it’s flexible. If you are craving something crispier and stickier, a combination of breadcrumbs, eggs, and grated cheese (ideally parmesan) will do the job for you. Mix three large eggs and water in a bowl and set aside. Using a different bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and cheese with salt and pepper. Dip the fish in eggs, and follow by pressing on the breadcrumb mixture.

Equipment
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Medium-sized mixing bowl
Storage
You can safely store any leftovers in your fridgein an airtight container. Remember that it should be stored within a few hours after it is cooked. The FDA recommends storing it for four days at the longest, and not more.
Tips
- Light it up — Adding some jalapeno or pepper is never a bad idea to spice things up.
- Don’t cover it — If you decide to cover the fish while baking, it will just take more time, as it is steaming the fish instead of baking it. If you want your walleye baked within 30 minutes, avoid covering it.
- Pairings — Although our baked walleye recipe is classy and delicious on its own, there is no harm in a pairing, with baked potatoes and steamed vegetables being the most ideal options.
