Fresh caught walleye dressed with some olive oil, salt and pepper and tossed on the grill or in a hot cast iron pan is the classic treatment of this tasty fresh-water fish. A little fresh-squeezed lemon juice and butter further enhances the delicate flavor. Judiciously toss in a couple pinches of herbs, some mushrooms and shallots and bake it all together in an oven and the walleye enters a whole new dimension.

Note: Additional or alternate seasonings can include French thyme, smoked or sweet paprika, dried Italian herb mix. I topped the assembled ingredients with a little Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute. Be judicious with the seasonings--you want to complement the delicate flavor of the walleye, not overwhelm it.
Serve with a little chopped parsley for color and a little parsley zing.
