04
Step
Evenly season the fillets with lemon pepper and dried basil, allowing the fragrant spices to permeate the fish.
05

Step
Serve immediately and relish the quick-cooking culinary masterpiece!
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving.
Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking to achieve the best results.
Walleye fillets of varying thickness may require slight adjustments to the baking time. Monitor closely to prevent overcooking.
Garnish with fresh parsley or dill for a vibrant, herbaceous touch.
