- ½ tsp paprika (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Pat walleye fillets dry with paper towels.
- In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Lightly dredge each fillet in the seasoned flour; shake off excess.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Notes
- Letting the fish come to room temp before cooking helps it cook evenly. For an extra touch, try finishing with a pat of lemon herb butter.
