Fried Walleye Sandwich.
Ingredients.
4 slices thick-sliced bacon
4 5 oz. walleye fillets
1/2 fresh lemon
salt and pepper -- to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp lemon pepper
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup peanut oil
FOR THE SANDWICHES
4 whole wheat buns
butter, at room temperature
lemon pepper
garlic mayonnaise
lettuce leaves
8 slices ripe tomato
Directions.
In a large, heavy cast iron skillet, fry the bacon over medium high
heat until crisp, about 7 minutes per side. Remove from pan, drain on
paper towel and set aside. Reserve bacon drippings in pan.
Rinse walleye fillets and pat fry. Squeeze juice from 1/2 lemon over
all fillets and season with salt and pepper. Dredge in cornmeal, pressing
firmly so cornmeal adheres to fillets.
Add peanut oil to bacon drippings and heat until it just begins to
smoke. Add fillets and fry until crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Remove
fillets from pan and drain on paper towel. Preheat the broiler.
Split buns lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Butter each side of the bun then sprinkle with lemon pepper. Place on a
pan and broil until brown, about 3 minutes. Spread garlic mayonnaise on
the buns, then lettuce and tomato. Add fried walleye and a piece of bacon.
