Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Shallow Dishes for Breading
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb walleye fillets pat dry
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil for spraying
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Pat the walleye fillets completely dry with paper towels.
- Set up three shallow dishes. Place flour in the first dish. In the second dish, whisk the eggs. In the third dish, mix panko breadcrumbs with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten egg, letting the excess drip off. Finally, press into the panko mixture to coat completely on all sides.
- Place the breaded fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is opaque and the breading is golden brown and crispy.
