Ingredients

2 walleye fillets
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
1 cup (70 g) shiitake mushrooms, diced
3 cups (90 g) arugula, finely chopped
1 tbsp (15 ml) balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice

Instructions

1. **Bake the Walleye:** Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the walleye fillets with salt and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for about 15 minutes or until the fillets are cooked through and flake easily with a fork.

2. **Make the Salsa:** While the fish is baking, prepare the salsa. In a pan over medium heat, sauté the diced shiitake mushrooms with a drizzle of olive oil until tender. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms with chopped arugula, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well. Top the baked walleye with this salsa before serving.
