Many customers demand a phone call when we serve Walleye Sauteed in Almond Meal. We like to create a summer feast and serve it with sweet corn, potato salad, sliced tomatoes, and lemon wedges. The breading adds to both the flavor and the size of the serving, making a 4- ounce portion plenty for each person.
SERVES: 4 to 6
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup ground almonds
- rind of1 lemon, finely grated
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- flour for rolling fillets
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 1/2 pounds walleye fillets
- 2 tablespoons butter, preferably clarified
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Combine almonds, lemon rind, salt, and cayenne and black pepper in a shallow bowl. First roll fillets in the flour, then dip them in the beaten egg, followed by the almond meal, turning to coat both sides well for all 3 coatings.
- Heat butter and oil until very hot in a large skillet. Reduce heat, and saute fillets at medium heat until fillets are crispy and brown. This will take approximately 4 minutes for each side.
