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

Made this the other night. A delicious change from fried walleye. Usually when I try something new my wife will try it but usually with a small bite. For this dish she tried a small bite, then another, and another. Finally said "You can keep this recipe."

Don't be scared to use a good amount of spinach as it does wilt down a sizable amount. Didn't use the wild rice but will try it next time just for a change to see which I like better.

roll fish in seasoned(salt/pepper) flour, put in 9X13 baking pan, one layer. pour cream until fish is just covered, i usually sprinkle some of the seasoned flour into the cream and bake at 375 until cream starts to brown. this is how my grandmother always made walleye. this is by far my favorite way to make fish. server with mashed taters, wild rice, etc. you won't be disappointed.

A recipe I remember from the Dakota Country magazine that might help you with reduced fat- and pretty darn simple:

Italian Walleye
Place a few seasoned filet on a greased baking pan
Pour on Rague/Prego over the top of the filet
Bake at 350* for 35min
Pull pan out and sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese over the top and return for 5 additional minutes
