Walleye Opener - Air Fried Walleye #2
Image From midwexican.com
4 walleye fillets
1 large egg
1 3 ounce bag of pork rinds I used Old Dutch
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges (optional)
Crush the pork rinds into crumbs. I pour them into a gallon bag and roll over them with a rolling pin until nice and crumbly.
Add ¼ teaspoon of cayenne and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the gallon bag of pork rind crumbs and shake to combine. Pour the pork rind crumbs onto a plate.
Crack an egg into a bowl and whisk until the white and yolk are combined.
Dip a walleye fillet into the whisked eggs, making sure both sides get coated. Let the excess egg drip off.
Dredge the walleye fillet in pork rind crumbs, making sure to completely coat on both sides.
Spray a bit of cooking spray on the rack in your air fryer to ensure the fillets don’t stick.
Put the walleye fillets on the air fryer rack. Repeat with the remaining fillets.
Fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for around 10 minutes. You can flip halfway through cooking, if desired.
Serve with lemon wedges.
