Steamed Walleye (Pickerel) on the Grill Recipe

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 8 (4 ounce) walleye fillets
  • 2 sheets heavy-duty aluminum foil
  • 4 tablespoons clarified butter, melted
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 large onion, sliced into rings

Directions:

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  2. Place two walleye fillets on the center of a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  3. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper.
  4. Top the fillets with half of the onion rings.
  5. Fold the sides of the foil over the fish and fold the ends several times to create an airtight pouch.
  6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 with the remaining ingredients to make another pouch.
  7. Place both pouches on the preheated grill and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fish is no longer opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork.

DELICIOUS! Trying to get my hands on walleye in Texas can be a challenge, so I substituted with cod, which turned out beautifully flaky. I recommend adding a squeeze of fresh lemon at the end to enhance the flavor as most of it gets cooked away. Pro tip: when unwrapping the pouches, do it over a plate to catch all the delicious juices and avoid any mess. An absolute treat!
