Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) walleye fillets
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
• 4 for garnish lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Pat the walleye fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

Dredge each walleye fillet in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until sizzling.

Step 5

Place the floured fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 6

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 8

Add the lemon juice and chopped parsley to the skillet, stirring to create a sauce. Cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 9

Return the cooked walleye fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to coat.

Step 10

Serve the Gunflint Walleye immediately, garnished with lemon wedges for a bright finishing touch.
