Ingredients

Scale

4 walleye fillets (about 6 oz each)
1/3 cup pure honey
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and garlic powder until well combined.
Place walleye fillets on the baking sheet and brush both sides generously with the honey glaze.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Drizzle any remaining glaze over the fish before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the fillets in the honey glaze for up to an hour before baking.

Substitute garlic powder with minced fresh garlic for a bolder taste.

Pair with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for balance.
