Instructions

Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat (350-375°F).
Combine butter, half of the pecans, orange juice, and chives in a small bowl; mix well.
Spray a 12-inch foil square with nonstick spray or oil, then place it on the grill.
Arrange walleye fillets on the foil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill for 6 to 9 minutes, then top the fillets with the pecan butter. Continue grilling for 1 to 3 minutes more, until the fish reaches 140°F, butter melts, and fish flakes easily.
Remove fish from heat and sprinkle with the remaining pecans before serving.
