I hope everyone who participated in last weekend’s fishing opener had an enjoyable experience. Admittedly, I am not much of a fisherman. However, I did catch a really nice walleye. I pulled it out of the freezer section at Zup’s and threw it in the air. So technically, I can say I caught it.
This week’s recipe is a riff on “Marry Me Chicken.” If you have never heard of that recipe, it was developed in 2016 by Delish.com, but it became internet famous during the pandemic. The dish is composed of seared chicken breasts in a creamy sauce with sun dried tomatoes, garlic, herbs, and spices.
Some people make a salmon version, but I thought it would be even better with walleye. I chose to serve it over wild rice, but pasta, mashed potatoes, or cauliflower rice would be good too. Add a simple side salad and some garlic bread for a complete meal.
One of my family members is trying to avoid gluten, so I dredged the fish in rice flour and thickened the sauce with cream cheese instead of using wheat flour. I also used sun dried tomato pesto instead of adding julienned sun dried tomatoes. I think the pesto blends nicely into the sauce.
