Ingredients
  • 1 small Onion, very finely diced
  • 3 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1/2 small Green pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Bread crumbs
  • 1/4 pound Butter (1 stick)
  • 1/2 cup Grated provolone
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the broiler. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. 2
    Add the diced onion and chopped green pepper to the skillet. Sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. 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. 4
    Remove from heat. Stir in the bread crumbs and grated provolone cheese until evenly distributed.
  5. 5
    Season the walleye fillets with salt and pepper. Place them on a foil-lined broiler pan or baking sheet.
  6. 6
    Broil the fish for 5 minutes, positioned about 4 inches from the heat source.
  7. 7
    Carefully flip the fillets. Spread the bread-vegetable-cheese mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.
  8. 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. 9
    Serve immediately while hot.
