I love to eat fish and I think this is a great way to make it. The coating adheres nicely and cooks to a lovely golden brown. With the homemade tartar sauce this meal is as good as when you eat out.—Carolyn Turner, Reno, Nevada

Ingredients

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup sweet pickle relish
• 4-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

• • fish:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
• 1-1/2 cups ice water
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• Oil for deep-fat frying
• 2 pounds walleye fillets, cut into 6 pieces
• Lemon wedges

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine first 5 ingredients; cover and refrigerate until serving.
2. For fish, in a shallow bowl, combine flour, lemon pepper, baking powder, garlic salt and parsley flakes. Combine ice water and 2 tablespoons oil; whisk into dry ingredients just until smooth.
3. In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°. Dip fillets in batter, turning to coat; allow excess batter to drip off. Fry fillets, a few at a time, until golden brown and fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 5-7 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sauce and lemon.
