BE CREATIVE WITH WALLEYE
In Manitoba, walleye are highly touted by many as one of the best-eating fish species in the province. A Traditional walleye recipe like deep-fried fish and chips is utilized time and time again. However… this is your chance to try something new! In this HuntFishMB Recipes segment, Josh Mcfaddin introduces a whole new level of flavor into cooking and consuming walleye fillets. Josh creates a “Coconut Curry Walleye” dish that is not only easy to make but will also blow your taste buds’ minds.
Below you can find the Coconut Curry Walleye recipe video and written recipe!
What you need:
• 2-4 Walleye fillets
• 1 Onion, diced
• 3 Garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 Tablespoon fresh ginger, crushed
• 4” Lemon Grass (optional)
• 2 cans coconut milk
• 1 jar Green Curry (or 2 Tablespoons green curry powder)
• Salt + Pepper
• 1 Lime
• 2 cups of cooked rice
• Cilantro to garnish
How To Make It:
• Start cooking a pot of rice. Long grain rice like Jasmine works well for this.
• Saute the onion on medium heat in a lightly oiled pan until translucent.
• Add the garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and stir things around until they start to really smell awesome.
• Add the coconut milk and curry paste. Stir well to incorporate.
• Turn up the temperature so that your liquids start to bubble. Allow the liquid to evaporate and reduce until thickened, almost like a pancake batter.
• Lightly season your raw fillets with salt + pepper on both sides.
• Then, float on top of your coconut curry mixture, cover with a lid and let cook until the walleye is fully cooked through. About 8 minutes.
• Dish some hot rice onto a plate and gently lift your walleye fillet on top. Spoon over a good amount of the coconut sauce, garnish with fresh cilantro, and squeeze lime juice over the top!
