Print Recipe

This walleye recipe really is so good that you'll want to serve it to everyone.

Serves: 2
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup mixed mushrooms (button, shitake, or wild varieties), chopped
  • 1 leek, sliced into rounds 1/4 inch thick, then halved*
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry
  • 3/4 cup chicken stock
  • 3/4 cup cream
  • 2 (8-ounce) walleye fillets
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

*Note: You can substitute 1/2 cup chopped scallion for the leek.


Directions:

  1. Place the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan; melt and continue to cook until butter is slightly browned and has a nut-like aroma.
  2. Add the mushrooms and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
  3. Add the leeks and cook a few more minutes.
  4. Add the sherry and cook a few minutes longer.
  5. Add the cream and chicken stock.
  6. Bring to a simmer and slip in the walleye fillets.
  7. Poach the fish for about 5 to 8 minutes, or until just done (check inside the fish).
  8. Gently remove the fish fillets to a warmed plate and cover lightly with foil.
  9. To finish, turn the heat to high and reduce the sauce until it's thick enough to coat a spoon. Swirl in the parsley and a little salt and pepper. Taste, adding more salt or a bit of lemon juice if needed.
  10. Arrange the fish on plates and pour the sauce over the fish.
  11. Serve with seasoned and buttered wild rice.
