Walleye Milanese and Accompaniments

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinated Tomatoes

    In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

    Prepare your favorite mashed potatoes recipe until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Bread the Walleye

    Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

  4. 4

    Cook the Walleye

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip each walleye fillet into the flour, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumb mixture. Cook the fillets in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    On each plate, serve a portion of mashed potatoes, top with a crispy walleye fillet, and finish with the marinated tomatoes. Enjoy!
