Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 walleye fillets
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Measuring spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Rinse the walleye fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Coat each fillet in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  4. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and bubble.
  5. Gently place the coated fillets in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Once cooked, drizzle the lemon juice over the fillets.
  7. Carefully transfer the fillets to a plate and serve hot.
  8. Consider garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or dill.

Notes

For extra crispiness, let the dredged fillets rest for 5 minutes before frying.
