Honey Glazed Pan Seared Walleye

Ingredients:

• walleye fillets, 1-2 pounds
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• ½ cup orange juice
• ¼ cup broth or stock
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon thyme, freshly chopped

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine the orange juice, broth, honey, mustard, and thyme, and mix until well blended. Transfer to a sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium high heat.

Meanwhile, heat butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat until the butter melts and just begins to brown. Add the walleye fillets and quickly sear each side for about 3 minutes until browned. Then immediately pour the honey glaze sauce into the skillet with the walleye fillets and simmer for an additional 3 minutes or until the fish is done by testing for flakiness with a fork.

Serve the fillets on top of rice or sweet potatoes with the honey glaze sauce poured over them.
