A nice Minnesotan twist on crab cakes.
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds walleye fillets
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 4 cups panko bread crumbs
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons oil for frying, or as needed
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 cup mayonnaise
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Place walleye fillets in a baking dish, pour in wine, and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Allow the fish to cool and break it into large chunks. Set aside.
Mix carrot, red onion, celery, panko crumbs, 2 cups mayonnaise, seafood seasoning, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl until well blended. Add the walleye, mixing gently so the chunks of fish don’t break apart. Shape the mixture into 12 patties.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Fry the patties until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
Whisk lemon juice and fresh dill into 1 cup mayonnaise in a bowl. Drizzle the sauce over the walleye cakes and serve.
