Image From sizzlefish.com

6 portions walleye
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

For Tartar Sauce (optional)

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp dill pickle relish
1 tsp dried chives
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp black pepper

For Serving

Lemon wedges
Chopped parsley
Tartar sauce

Spray air fryer basket with cooking oil spray. Blot excess moisture from walleye with paper towel and slice each portion in half.

Add flour to one shallow bowl, beat egg in a second bowl and combine Panko, paprika, garlic, salt and pepper in a third. Working in two batches, coat each piece of walleye in flour then dip in egg allowing excess to run back into bowl. Coat in Panko mixture and place in air fryer basket leaving 1 inch of space for air to flow.

Air fry at 400ºF for 9-10 minutes. Repeat with remaining walleye.

While walleye cooks, stir together ingredients for tartar sauce in a small bowl. Serve crispy walleye with tartar sauce, lemon wedges and garnished with parsley.
