Walleye in Creamy Orange Sauce

Serves: 4 to 6

2 tablespoons margarine or butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup half-and-half or milk
1-1/2 lbs. walleye or other lean fish fillets

Heat oven to 300. Grease 13 x 9-inch baking pan. In small saucepan, melt margarine over medium heat. Stir in onion, flour, orange peel, salt and pepper. Blend in half-and-half. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly, about 4 minutes. Set aside.

Cut fish into serving-size pieces. Place in prepared pan. Pour sauce over fish. Cover with foil. Bake until fish flakes easily at thickest part, about 25 minutes. Garnish with orange slices, if desired.
