The beauty of preparing walleye fillets using this delicious and healthy recipe is the simplicity. The whole meal comes together in about 15 minutes and tastes as good as it looks.
For best results, we like to use larger than average walleye fillets, one fish in the 18 to 20 inch size range is ideal for 2 people. When using smaller fish, in the 15 to 17 inch size range, we suggest preparing 4 fillets for 2 people.
Ocassionally, folks tell us that coconut is not high on their list of favorite flavors. That's okay, you can still prepare this dish by substituting avacado oil, combined with butter, and leaving out the organic coconut flakes.
