Notes
- Light it up — Adding some jalapeno or pepper is never a bad idea to spice things up.
- Don’t cover it — If you decide to cover the fish while baking, it will just take more time, as it is steaming the fish instead of baking it. If you want your walleye baked within 30 minutes, avoid covering it.
- Pairings — Although our baked walleye recipe is classy and delicious on its own, there is no harm in a pairing, with baked potatoes and steamed vegetables being the most ideal options.
