Instructions

  • Pour oil into a pan and heat on stovetop on medium high heat. Oil should reach a temp of 350 degrees for cooking the walleye. Note: you only need enough oil to cover ⅓ of the fillets.
  • Cut skin off of walleye fillets (if necessary) using a filet knife or other sharp knife. Then, pat both sides dry with a paper towel.

  • Pour honey mustard into a shallow dish. Pour bread crumbs, flour, salt and pepper into another shallow dish and mix.
  • Dip walleye fillets into the honey mustard first and flip on both sides to get completely coated. Then, dip into the flour and breadcrumb mixture on both sides to coat thoroughly. Finally, place coated fillet into the pan of hot oil.
