Equipment

1 air fryer

Ingredients

4 fillets walleye
1 c Panko bread crumbs
2 eggs
2 tsp garlic powder
1.5 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
olive oil spray

Instructions

Combine Panko bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder together in a bowl and then spread onto a large flat dish or plate. Beat eggs together in another large flat dish.
Remove any small bones in fillets you see. Pat fillets with paper towels to remove moisture. Dip walleye fillet into egg, coating both top and bottom. Lift up and allow excess to drip off. Lay into bread crumb mixture, coating both top and bottom well.
Preheat air fryer at 400 F for 5 minutes. Place two fillets at a time in air fryer without overlapping. Spray fillets evenly with olive oil spray. Cook for 8 minutes.
Flip fillets over and spray with olive oil spray again. Cook for 6-7 more minutes or until crispy on outside and tender inside. Timing will vary depending on how thick or thin yours are so check at min. time.
* Walleye is a very bony fish, be careful.•
