- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon Fustini’s Sicilian Lemon balsamic
- 1/2 cup Hazelnuts or filberts, chopped

Ingredients
Directions
- Season walleye fillets with salt and pepper. Combine flour and salt and pepper in one small bowl. Combine beaten egg and Fustini&rsquo,s Sicilian Lemon Balsamic Vinegar and in another small bowl. Place hazelnuts in a third bowl. Bread the walleye fillets first in the flour shaking off any extra, then into the egg, letting any excess drip, and then into the hazelnuts.
- Heat two tablespoons of the Fustini&rsquo,s Single Varietal EVOO and two tablespoons butter in a large skillet over moderate heat and fry the walleye fillets meat side down until golden brown - 6 to 8 minutes. Turn over and fry until cooked through - another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the pan and wipe the pan clean with a paper towel. Add the rest of the butter and Fustini&rsquo,s Single Varietal to the pan and when the butter is melted, add the shallot and cook for 30 seconds. Add the Frangelico and heavy cream, bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened. To serve, place a fillet on a service plate and spoon some of the sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley.
