Ingredients
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup hemp hearts
Two walleye or pickerel fillets
Sprinkle of Yawékon house seasoning
Directions
Blend seeds in a food processor and place on a plate.
Pat dry fish with a paper towel to dry. Sprinkle house seasoning onto fish. Completely cover the walleye with the seed mixture. (No binder is necessary; an egg wash can be used.)
Place fish in a fry pan or oven to bake.
Bake 350 F for 15 minutes or until cooked through. If pan frying, cook on med heat till cooked halfway, five minutes.
Turn only once so as not to break the crust off, and finish the other side until cooked.
This can be served with a pesto or cranberry sauce for extra flavour. Enjoy!
