Bacon Walleye Pinwheels

Cultural Context

Bacon Walleye Pinwheels are a delightful American dish, often enjoyed in regions where walleye fishing is popular, such as the Midwest. This dish combines the rich flavors of bacon with the delicate taste of walleye, making it a perfect option for gatherings or special dinners. The use of cream cheese adds a creamy texture that complements the fish beautifully, and the pinwheel presentation makes it visually appealing. Today, variations exist, with some incorporating different seasonings or herbs to enhance the flavor profile further.

1

Zipper the walleye fish fillets, ensuring they are not too wide.

2

Lay out a piece of bacon flat.

3

Take a walleye fillet and start rolling it with the bacon, keeping it centered.

4

If the fillet is thick, score the back to help it bend easier.

5

Secure the rolled fillet with a toothpick through the bacon.

6

Heat a Teflon skillet and drizzle in some Hellmann's extra virgin olive oil.

7

Let the skillet come up to temperature.

8

Place the pinwheels in the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes.

9

Roll the pinwheels on their edges to crisp the bacon.

10

Add a splash of water to the skillet to steam the pinwheels and ensure they are cooked through.

11

Add a little lemon juice to the skillet for flavor.

12

Prepare a compound butter with roasted red bell peppers, softened butter, garlic, salt, and pepper.

13

Once the pinwheels are done, place a dollop of the compound butter on top to melt down into the pinwheels.
