Ingredients

2 walleye fillets
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil
1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. **Marinate the Walleye**: In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Place the walleye fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. **Preheat the Grill**: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
3. **Grill the Fillets**: Remove the walleye from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
4. **Serve**: Transfer the grilled walleye fillets to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad.
