Among the variety of wild fish and game dishes that will be offered at these gatherings, coconut encrusted walleye with a rich piña colada sauce is particularly enticing. Take a look at the recipe and join us at these events to try it for yourself!
Ingredients:
- 8 Ounces boneless, skinless fillet, per person
- 1.5 Cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 Cup chopped pecans
- 1 Jar chicken gravy
- 2 Ounces coconut liqueur
- 2 Ounces tropical schnapps
- 1 Tablespoon chopped parsley
- 2 Beaten eggs
- Dash white pepper
- 2 Ounces heavy cream
- 2 Tablespoons garlic butter
Directions:
Dredge the fish in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and roll in coconut, coating the fillets moderately, being careful to not coat too heavily. In medium hot pan, brown the fish one or two fillets at a time and remove to ovenproof baking dish. Take care not to blacken the coconut, as this happens very easily. When finished, clean the pan with a towel.
Add the gravy, schnapps, coconut liqueur, pecans, heavy cream, half of the parsley, pepper and garlic butter. When boiling and well blended pour over fish in casserole. Sprinkle remaining parsley and coconut over top. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. Serve with fluffy rice and asparagus spears or your favorite side dishes!
