Blackened Walleye Fillets:
Walleye fillets
Blackening Seasoning
Vegetable or Canola oil
Blackening Seasoning:
¼ cup smoked paprika
2 tbsp. cayenne pepper
2 tbsp. onion powder
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. black pepper
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. dried basil
2 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried thyme
Lemon wedges
Mix blackening seasoning ingredients in an air tight container and stir well.
Rinse and pat dry with a paper towel the Walleye fillets. Rub a generous amount of blackening seasoning over both sides of the fillets. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Add fish in batches and cook 2-3 minutes per side, flipping once. Once the fish is cooked through, remove to a plate covered in paper towels and allow to drain. Turn oven to 175-degrees F and place fish fillets on a baking sheet or wire rack and place in the oven to keep warm while you finish cooking the remaining fillets. Serve with lemon wedges.
