Pan-Fried Walleye with Lemon Butter

Ingredients:

• 4 walleye fillets (6 ounces each)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 lemon (juiced)
• Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions:

1. Pat the walleye fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
2. Dredge each fillet in flour, shaking off excess flour.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes until hot.
4. Add the fillets to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown.
5. Carefully flip the fillets and add butter to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
6. Pour lemon juice over the fillets and let it cook for an additional minute.
7. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
