10/22/21 Best Fried Walleye
Ingredients
4 walleye fillets
2 eggs, beaten
½ cup flour
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
1 pinch salt (optional)
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups crushed saltine crackers
vegetable oil for frying
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Directions
Check the fillets to ensure all bones and skin have been removed. Cut the fillets into manageable pieces, if necessary.
Beat eggs in a bowl and set aside. Combine the flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper in another bowl. Pour the cracker crumbs into a third bowl.
Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large heavy skillet over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F.
Dip the fillets into the flour mixture, then the eggs, and then the cracker crumbs and set fillets aside on a plate. Test the oil: it will crackle and pop when a cracker crumb is dropped into it. Carefully lower two fillets into the hot oil. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side, using tongs to turn the fillets.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining fillets.
Serve with fresh lemon wedges.

Oven Baked Norwegian Atlantic Salmon
Ingredients:
2 pounds Norwegian Atlantic skinless salmon fillets (or leave skin on if preferred)
3-4 tablespoons butter
2-3 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon granulated onion
1 tablespoon paprika
½ to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh parsley or basil (or 2 to 3 teaspoons DRIED)
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tablespoon or more lemon juice
Directions:
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil or baking paper, spray with cooking spray or lightly oil. Set aside.
Make about 4-5 slits on salmon. Dab both sides of salmon dry with paper towels, season both sides (if skinless) with salt and pepper.
On medium low heat, add to small pan, butter, minced garlic, paprika, granulated onion, cayenne pepper (optional), and parsley or basil. Stir for about 30 seconds or 1 minute. Let this mixture sit for a little bit about 5 minutes. Add lemon juice to mixture.
Brush salmon with spice mixture, making sure every inch on both sides is covered with spice. (if you have elected to leave the skin on, do not cover the skin side with spice.)
Bake until cooked through, about 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish and your preference of doneness. When the thickest part of the salmon is easily flaked with a fork, the salmon is perfectly cooked.
If you have skin on, it should easily pull off when the fish is done.
Garnish immediately with lemon slices and serve with oven roasted Brussels sprouts.

Cedar Planked Salmon
Ingredients:
3 (12 inch) untreated cedar planks
¼ cup chopped green onions
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon grated ginger root
1 ½ teaspoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 (2 pounds) salmon fillets, skin removed
Directions:
Soak the cedar planks for at least 1 hour in warm water. Soak longer if you have time.
In a shallow dish, stir together the veg oil, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, green onions, ginger, and garlic. Place the salmon fillets in the marinade and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to one hour.
Preheat grill for medium heat. Place the planks on the grate. The boards are ready when they start to smoke and crackle just a little.
Place the salmon fillets onto the planks and discard the marinade.
Have a spritzer bottle ready with water in case of flareups.
Cover and grill for about 12-15 minutes. Fish is done when you can flake it with a fork. Remember that it will continue to cook for a few minutes after you remove it from the grill.
Serves 6
Suggestion: Serve with an Asian inspired rice and roasted asparagus.
