How to Make It
Step 1
Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Slice the walleye into 2” strips. Season the fish with ½ tsp kosher salt. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the avocado oil and swirl the pan to coat evenly. Add the onion and minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
Step 2
Add the walleye skin side down.
Step 3
Add the coconut water, fish sauce, and dark soy sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened, and the pan is almost dry.
Step 4
The fish should be nicely glazed at this point and the pan should almost be dry.
Step 5
Place the fish on a serving platter and top with sliced cayenne chili pepper and sliced scallions.
