  • 1/2  teaspoon  finely shredded lemon or orange peelOn Sale
  • 4  8-ounce  skinless walleye pike fillets or other desired white fish filletsOn Sale
  •     Salt and pepperOn Sale
  • 1  cup  Roasted Corn Salsa (see recipe below)On Sale

Directions
1.
Soak the corn husks in warm water for 4 to 24 hours to soften. Pat with paper towels to remove excess moisture. For citrus butter, in a small bowl stir together the butter and lemon or orange peel; set aside.
2.
Place each fish fillet lengthwise on 2 overlapped corn husks. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper, top each with 1/4 cup Roasted Corn Salsa, and dot each with 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture. Fold the long edge of the husk over the fish so the edges meet. Tie ends securely with pieces of corn husk or string. Or, if husks are not large enough, place 2 additional husks atop salsa mixture and tie with kitchen string to enclose the fish.
3.
Place bundles on a baking sheet. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 25 minutes. (Fish should flake easily when tested with a fork.) Makes 4 servings.

Roasted Corn Salsa
Place 3 cups fresh corn kernels in a shallow baking pan. Roast, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl stir together 2 red and/or green sweet peppers, finely chopped; 3 green onions, sliced; 1/4 cup snipped fresh parsley; 2 teaspoons minced garlic (4 cloves); 1/3 cup lime juice; 1/4 cup salad oil; 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce; 2 teaspoons bottled hot pepper sauce; and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in roasted corn. Makes 2-1/2 cups salsa.
