Instructions
 

Prepare the Fish

  • Lightly rinse or dip walleye fillets in water—just enough to moisten the surface.

    Heat oil in a skillet or fryer to 350°F.
    Fry until golden brown and crispy (2–3 minutes per side).
    Drain on paper towels and keep warm.

Make the Hollandaise

  • Whisk egg yolks and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl until thickened.
    Place over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring constantly.
    Slowly whisk in warm butter until the sauce thickens.
    Season with cayenne and salt. Set aside, keeping warm.

Poach the Eggs

  • Bring a pot of water with vinegar to a gentle simmer.
    Crack each egg into a ramekin and gently slide into the water.
    Poach for 3–4 minutes until whites are set and yolks are soft.
    Remove with a slotted spoon and pat dry.

    Top with a crispy walleye fillet.
