Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and chopped green pepper to the skillet. Sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and the lemon juice. Mix well to combine.
  4. Remove from heat. Stir in the bread crumbs and grated provolone cheese until evenly distributed.
  5. Season the walleye fillets with salt and pepper. Place them on a foil-lined broiler pan or baking sheet.
  6. Broil the fish for 5 minutes, positioned about 4 inches from the heat source.
  7. Carefully flip the fillets. Spread the bread-vegetable-cheese mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.
  8. Return to the broiler and cook for another 6 to 8 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  9. Serve immediately while hot.
