Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Walleye

Season the walleye fillets with salt and pepper. Dredge each fillet in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.

2

Fry the Fish

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded walleye fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

3

Blanch the Green Beans

In a pot of boiling salted water, blanch the green beans for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

4

Grill the Zucchini

Slice the zucchini lengthwise and grill them until they are tender and have grill marks, about 4-5 minutes per side.

5

Prepare the Salad

In a bowl, combine the blanched green beans, halved cherry tomatoes, and pitted Castelvetrano olives. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.

6

Serve

On a plate, arrange the fried walleye alongside the grilled zucchini and the green bean salad. Serve with a generous dollop of salsa rosa on the side.
