Spend your day fishing, and then take your catch back to camp. Cook fish whole or clean into fillets. Fill the foil packet with whatever veggies and seasonings you have on hand and in just a few minutes, dinner will be ready. There are no pots to clean and little mess to make – this is my kind of camp cooking.

Serves:4
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 or 2 walleye fillets
  • Shallots, minced
  • ½ cup of frozen corn
  • 1 tablespoon of store-bought harissa sauce
  • Sliced zucchini
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Sugar snap peas
  • Olive oil
  • Cilantro, chopped
  • Lemon wedges

Directions:

1. Prepare grill for medium, direct heat cooking. On a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, place frozen corn, shallots, salt, pepper, sliced zucchini, sugar snap peas, and walleye. Sprinkle more salt and pepper onto the fish and top with the harissa sauce. Drizzle with olive oil. Fold up foil to make a packet.
