Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Egg Wash

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.

  3. 3

    Coat the Fish

    Dip each walleye fillet into the egg wash, letting excess drip off, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat until bubbling.

  5. 5

    Pan-Fry the Walleye

    Add the coated walleye fillets to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the fillets from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess butter. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
