Walleye pike fillets cook well in a pan. When preparing any fish, cook it just until it flakes with a fork to prevent it from becoming tough and rubbery. Using a nonstick pan with additional oil ensures that your fish comes cleanly out of the pan without sticking to the bottom. Choose an option below to suit your cooking preferences: pan-fry fish or grilled fish.
