I call it mushroom fish.

1 1/2 lbs walleye
4 tbsp butter
1 package of mushrooms sliced
1/4 cup diced onion
1 or 2 garlic cloves chopped
3 tsp lemon juice
bread crumbs
parmesan cheese
parsley, salt, pepper

melt the butter in a pan. Sauté mushrooms, onion, garlic. Remove from heat and add Lemmon juice and mix together. Place fish in a greased 8x8 baking dish. Pour mushroom mixture over the top. Sprinkle the top with the bread crumbs until covered. Cover with plenty of cheese. Sprinkle with salt pepper and parsley. Bake uncovered for a half hour at 350. My family loves this.

Have you tried baked taco walleye, used to make it when the kids were little they loved it. Just take the full fillets sprinkle a good coating of taco seasoning on then cheese a little salsa, olives if you like then a slice of tomato on top and bake for about 20 minutes.

sorry, I tried seperating the sauce from the stuffing ​ ingredients but wasn't successful. I trust you can figure it out.

I just brush both sides lightly with melted butter, lightly sprinkle with Cajun Injector brand cajun seasoning. Then bake on an elevated rack like a cookie cooling rack.

Parmesan Walleye
Ingredients:
4 walleye filets
1 cup olive oil
1/4 pound butter
One sliced onion
Salt and pepper to taste
One cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and arrange the filets in a glass baking dish. Add sliced onions, the milder the better. Place several tabs of cold butter on top of each filet. Sprinkle heavily with freshly grated parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper as desired. Bake uncovered for about 25 minutes, or until cheese begins to brown. Remove fillets from the olive oil and butter, drain and serve. Optionally, one can drizzle the drained oil and butter mixture over a little rotini and serve the fillet on top of the pasta.

Damn, all those sound pretty good. Not sure with all the butter and cheeses they're any healthier than frying. I've always felt that lo-fat = low-flavor.

Season to taste, use a grill for your heat source with some smoking chips/pellets adding flavor.

Place the fillets on a baking sheet - lightly apply some mayo on top, then a thin sliver of cold butter, salt and pepper, broil until they start to flake. Probably similar to what Oley said above with melted butter.
My favorite walleye were grilled...dredge fillets in melted butter , then put Cajun shrimp seasoning or Old Bay...foil pack on charcoal...so good.

Lay on tin foil, add fresh lemon slices and a coupla pads of butter, salt and pepper to taste, wrap foil around filet to make a pouch and bake until flaky. Tastes like walleye.

I do a lot of pan frying in a tablespoon or 2 of olive oil add whatever seasoning your feeling that day and start cooking. Salt, Pepper, Garlic, onion powder, ginger, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, lemon juice and white wine vinegar turns out real nice. I usually cook one side a bit longer to add a little more brown to the sesame seeds. You can also add a panko for more crunch.

Put fillets on tin foil and turn up edges. Drizzle the fillets with olive oil and butter. Sprinkle with Lemon/Pepper seasoning, then put a slice of orange on top of each fillet. Cook until fillets flake with a fork. I usually do them on the grill. If I want a little heat to them I use horseradish sauce as a condiment.

For healthy fish I usually just do a little olive oil and then some old bay and bake or drill.

A small tinfoil dish or meatloaf pan with some smoking chips adds a lot of flavor. Get the smoke rolling good before you put the fish on.

I have been spraying fillets with olive oil and then seasoning them and putting them on the smoker I baste them with a mix of butter and lemon juice a couple times and cook until they are nice and flaky.

usually do this on BBQ, make a pan out of tinfoil and rub the bottom with some butter and lay in fish fillets and then cover fillets with some chopped onion and green peppers season to taste and bake until fillets are flaking right before serving top with some cheddar cheese and allow to melt and serve, may have to use a spatula to get them out but worth it. when completed just throw away tinfoil pan. Easy and tasty

Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Walleye

Zatarain’s spice
Bacon
1-1.5 pound walleye fillets

Filling:
2 cups broccoli, chopped small and lightly sautéed
½ cup finely chopped onion, sautéed
Juice of 1 lemon
¼ cup mayo
1 tsp. garlic powder
¼ cup parmesan cheese
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Sprinkle Zatarain’s seasoning on both sides of the fillet. Cut a slit in the fillet on the side so that it has a big opening like a pita. In a bowl, mix the filling ingredients. Stuff the mixture into the fillet. Then wrap a piece of bacon around the fillet and secure with toothpicks. Cook on the grill at about 350 degrees and cook for roughly 8-10 minutes, or until it starts to flake.
