Description
A flakey fish dinner, this Baked Walleye with White Wine Sauce is packed with flavor. The buttery wine sauce covers colorful, spiced fish fillets and provides a comforting and calorie-conscious dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 Ounces Walleye fillet
- 4 Tablespoons butter, cut into small cubes
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Tablespoons shallots, minced
- ½ cup White Wine, such as chardonnay
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh cracked pepper, to taste
- Lemon, to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° degrees
- Place fish in an appropriate baking dish (I use a 9×13 glass baking dish)
- Add white wine
- Add salt, pepper, and paprika evenly over fish
- Spread garlic and shallots evenly over entire dish
- Spread chunks of butter evenly over fish
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the thickest part of the fish reaches 145° Fahrenheit.
- Plate and spoon sauce over fish.
Notes
- Our instructions call to bake for 20 minutes but use a meat thermometer to make sure the walleye hits an internal temperature of 145° Farhenhight.
- If you increase the amount of fish, use 1 Tablespoon of butter for every 4 ounces of fish.
- Spread the garlic and shallots evenly over the entire dish. We want some of these bits directly on the fish, but also right in the sauce.
- Don’t break the bank on the wine you use. A nice, inexpensive Chardonnay works great for this.
- Consider serving with boiled potatoes and steamed vegetables for a nice dinner.
