Walleye Wraps

Appetizer?!

...or selfishly make as a 1-person feast?

Walleye wraps are the perfect appetizer when hosting guests to be served prior to another fish or seafood entree or even goes well with steak.

Old Fashioned

• Preheat grill to medium heat, around 350-400°.

• Soak toothpicks in water. This helps them from burning too easily.

• Cut bacon strips in half.

• Cut walleye fillets into 1-inch chunks (how to get the skin off walleye trick)

• Cut green onion tops into 1-inch pieces.

Wrap with Bacon

• Lay half strip of bacon on cutting board. Layer one water chestnut, one piece of green onion, and one piece of walleye on bacon. Wrap bacon tightly and secure with toothpick. Make sure to get the toothpick into the water chestnut. This helps to keep it all together and not fall apart as the fish cooks and gets flakey.

Oil & Season

Put all walleye wraps on a plate. Drizzle with olive oil and shake on seasonings to your liking.

Grill

Grill on top rack (helps to keep bacon from flaming up). Occasionally turn with tongs to cook evenly. Total grill time about 12-15 minutes.

Walleye Wraps Recipe

Ingredients

Walleye (other firm whitefish works too) "how to get the skin off walleye"

Bacon

Water Chestnuts

Green Onions

Oil (I like using Garlic Oil)

Seasonings of your choice (I use Real Salt, Garlic Salt, and Pepper)

Why use Redmond's Real Salt? Most salt producers remove any trace minerals in their salt and add enough iodine to qualify as "iodized." Redmond Real Salt is an ancient, unrefined sea salt, which means we don't add anything (including iodine) to the 60+ trace minerals nature gave our salt.
