Baked Walleye with Lemon Garlic Sauce

Being from the land of 10,000 lakes, everyone here loves walleye. But mostly, you’ll only find people battering and frying the fish. Here is a great alternative way to prepare walleye without having to deep fry that only takes 12 minutes total cooking time. If you can’t find walleye, you can substitute other fish such as tilapia, cod, halibut, Chilean sea bass, or grouper.

Green Buffalo Wings

I was making different marinated wings at work for the stuperbowl at the crack of dawn and I asked myself, “why not green buffalo wings?” So I made it happen. The sauce is just like the orange buffalo sauce made with a cayenne pepper base, but now with green tabasco. I added a bunch of minced garlic and a serrano pepper to give it an extra kick.
