Creating Air Fryer Walleye can be simple and straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Dredging Stations: Set up three shallow bowls:
– First bowl with flour.
– Second bowl filled with whisked eggs.
– Third bowl with panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and dried parsley.
3. Dredge the Walleye: Take each walleye fillet and dip it into the flour, ensuring an even coating. Shake off excess flour.
4. Coat with Egg: Dip the fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
5. Coat with Breadcrumbs: Finally, coat the fillet in the panko mixture, pressing to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
6. Spray with Oil: Lightly spray the coated fillets with cooking spray or drizzle olive oil on top to promote crispiness.
7. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
8. Cook the Walleye: Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning midway, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).
9. Rest Before Serving: Allow the fillets to rest for a few minutes before serving.
