* 4 fillets walleye, 1/2 inch thickness, 7-8 inches in length * 1 egg, beaten * ½ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated (powdered works best) * ⅔ cup panko bread crumbs * 1 teaspoon kosher salt * ½ teaspoon garlic powder * ½ teaspoon onion powder * ¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground * oil for cooking * Garnishes: fresh lemon wedges, chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, or chives
# Instructions
1. In a pie plate or similar dish, combine parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Use hand whisk to combine well. Set aside. 2. Use clean paper towels to thoroughly pat dry walleye fillets, removing excess moisture. Set aside. 3. Pour enough oil in a large, heavy skillet or cast iron pan to generously coat the entire bottom of the pan. Heat oil over medium heat while you prepare the fish. 4. Dip or brush two walleye fillets with beaten egg to coat. Allow excess to drip off. 5. Firmly press enough breadcrumb mixture onto both sides of walleye fillets to very generously coat both sides. 6. Once oil is very hot and smoking, place two coated walleye fillets into pan and cover with splatter guard to prevent oil splatters. Cook about 3 minutes or just until bottom is nicely browned. 7. Use a firm, large spatula to carefully flip fillets over and repeat with other side. Repeat with remaining two fillets. 8. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and any freshly chopped herbs you’d like.
