Ensure your kitchen is well-organized and all the ingredients are readily accessible. This will make the cooking process smoother and more enjoyable.

Whisk the Eggs and Buttermilk:

In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs and buttermilk together. This will be your wet mixture for coating the walleye fillets.

In another shallow dish, combine the almond meal, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, paprika, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to create your flavorful dry mixture.

Dip each walleye fillet into the egg and buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Next, coat the fillet generously with the dry mixture, pressing the almond mixture onto the fish to ensure it adheres well. Repeat this process for all the fillets.

In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of cooking oil over medium-high heat. You'll know it's ready when a breadcrumb sizzles when dropped in.

Carefully place the coated walleye fillets into the hot oil. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook in batches.

Once done, transfer the fried walleye to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Squeeze lemon juice over the fillets and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot, and watch your guests' eyes light up with excitement.
