Hot Walleye Dip Recipe

Source of recipe: www.nelliebellie.com/hot-wall...
Ingredients
1 pound walleye (It is okay to go a bit higher than this amount and if there is any excess, it is very good just fish and onions. If doing other fish dishes, I will use the bottom part of the fillet and save the top of the fillet for the other dishes.)
1 small onion diced (I prefer sweet onion and use a big one)
3 tablespoons butter
8 oz softened cream cheese
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon paprika
2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1.5 cups mayonnaise
2 tablespoons hot sauce (use an amount that suits the audience)
½ cup chopped green onion
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
½ cup bread crumbs
½ cup parmesan cheese
Your cracker of choice (I prefer big size Wheat Thins.)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Melt the butter and add the chopped onion and walleye fillets.
(I vary from this step and caramelize the onions before adding fish using a large fry pan.)
Cook about 5 minutes or until the fillets are done.
Use a spatula, flake the fish and stir the onion & butter together. Set aside.
In large bowl mix the cream cheese with the mayo and cheddar cheese.
Add the hot sauce, chives, parsley, lemon juice, and paprika. Stir well.
Press the cream cheese mixture into a pie pan or baking dish.
Press the walleye flakes on to the top of the cream cheese being sure to add the cooked onions.
Top with the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of paprika.
Bake at 400º degrees for 25 minutes or until hot and bubbling.
Serve hot with crackers. Be careful to not let this appetizer spoil the main dish - it has happened.

It's naughty good

[@BerkleysFishinBuddy]

Calling this “hot” as in spicy is hilarious. Chick-Fil-A would not put this on the kids menu. Seriously though, not spicy at all with that minuscule amount of Franks, heck, my newborn grandchild puts that shitt on everything

[@Bigwaterfishing]

Such a tough guy you are

[@BerkleysFishinBuddy]

Wasn’t trying to be tough, just a little humor. Lighten up

[@Bigwaterfishing]

Hopefully you like the dip more than we like each other's humor
