Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons honey
• ¼ cup butter, melted
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 4 walleye fillets
• 16 slices bacon, cooked lightly - divided
• 1 onion, halved and thinly sliced - divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with foil.

Step 2

Place four pieces of bacon in the baking dish and top with walleye fillets. Arrange about 1/4 of the onion slices over the fish. Drizzle with melted butter and honey; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the pan with foil and bake in the preheated oven for until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the fish is baking, chop up the remaining bacon slices and place them in a skillet with the rest of the onion. Cook and stir over medium heat until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and golden brown and the bacon is crisp, about 15 minutes more.

Step 4

Serve each walleye fillet with bacon and onions.
