GRILLED WALLEYE WITH PEPPERY TARTAR SAUCE

Tartar Sauce Ingredients:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons dill pickle relish, drained
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper


Fish Ingredients:

3 tablespoons Butter, melted
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, parsley or chives
4 (4 ounces each) walleye fillets
Salt and Pepper, if desired

Heat gas grill on medium or charcoal grill until coals are ash white. Stir together mayonnaise, relish and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in small bowl. Cover; refrigerate until serving time. Combine butter and dill in small bowl; brush butter mixture on both sides of fish, turning to coat.

Place greased grill grid or basket on grill. Place fish on grid. Grill, skin-side up, until edges start to turn white (3 to 4 minutes). Turn; continue grilling until fish flakes with fork (4 to 7 minutes). Sprinkle with salt and pepper, if desired. Serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges. Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives, if desired.

*Substitute 1 teaspoon dried dill weed, parsley or chives for fresh if not available.

Stove-Top Directions: Heat 14-inch grill pan over medium-high heat until drops of water sizzle (about 2 minutes). Reduce heat to medium. Cook fish, skin-side up, until edges begin to turn white (2 to 3 minutes). Turn; continue cooking until fish flakes with fork (1 to 2 minutes).
