Walleye Opener - Air Fried Walleye #4
Image From joytothefood.com
1 lb walleye (2 fillets)
¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
¼ cup parmesan (finely grated)
1 egg
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 lemon (for squeezing juice on after)
Thaw the 1 lb walleye as needed. Cut the skin off your walleye fillets if needed and slice them in half.
Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel on both sides so that they're dry (this is super important!).
Crack 1 egg into a shallow bowl and whisk it. Then, grate ¼ cup parmesan into a separate bowl and stir in the ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
Dip one fillet into the egg wash to completely coat it with egg. Then, dip it into the bowl with the dry ingredients to coat it with the dry ingredients.
Next, place the fillet in the air fryer basket. Repeat with other fillets. Space each piece out evenly about 1" or more apart. Work in batches as needed.
Air fryer at 400 degrees for 6 minutes. Remove and top with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice!
