Easy Grilled Walleye Recipe

Step 1

Check the sides of your walleye fillets for bones with your finger. Using needle nose pliers, remove any that are there (once you find one they should all be in a line and relatively easy to find).

Step 2

Fillets should be rinsed and dried. Set aside on a cutting board or plate.

Step 3

Season both sides with black pepper and sea salt.

Step 4

In a bowl or on a small plate, combine smoked paprika, minced herbs, lemon juice, and olive oil.

Step 5

Rub herb mixture evenly into both sides of each fillet.

Step 6

While the grill heats up, let the herb mixture sit on the fillet.

Step 7

Preheat the grill for 10 minutes on medium-high.

Step 8

When the grill is heated, set the fish filets on top and cook for 5-7 minutes per side.

Step 9

If the sides of the fish are starting to brown but the fish is still not cooked through, switch to indirect heat (not directly over the burners).

Step 10

Remove to a clean platter, season with more salt if desired, and serve!
