A
lot of people love the
taste
of walleye but often
times they forget that
northern can be just
as delicious. I’m
going to show you a way
to prepare northern that
I just know you’ll
love.
I start
by squeezing the juice
out of an orange
and then add the juice
to a cup and a half
of maple syrup. Make
sure
you keep the orange
peels for later. Pour
this
mixture into a shallow
pan, then place 2 to
4 northern filets on
top of it. You can
also combine these into
a
big ziploc bag if you
want. Let this marinade
for about a half hour.
Then take your orange
peels and cup them
into slivers.
Next
thing I do is spray
some aluminum foil
with some
cooking spray. This
will make sure the
syrup and
the walleye don’t
stick to it. I place
the filets and the
extra sauce on top
of the
foil.
I just
add about a quarter cup
of crushed walnuts
and the orange peel slivers
over the top, fold the
foil tightly and place
it on the grill, cooking
it until the fish flakes.
This will take about
10-12 minutes.
Open
up my foil and it’s
ready to serve.
The
Recipe...
1 1/2
cup maple syrup
1/4 cup crushed walnuts
Juice from 1 orange (then
cut rind into slivers)
Cooking spray
Aluminum foil

Pour
maple syrup and orange
juice in to shallow
pan then arrange filets
on top, or you can
also place in a large
Ziploc
Bag (1 gallon) and
let sit for1/2 hour.
Spray
aluminum foil with
cooking spray, place
filets on
top of foil. Pour extra
sauce over fish add
crushed walnuts and slivers
of
orange peels over top.
Fold foil tightly place
on grill cook until
fish flakes. Approx 10-12
minutes.
