Walleye Cakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Walleye

    In a large pot, add water and bring to a boil. Add walleye fillets and cook until they are fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from water and let cool before flaking into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine flaked walleye, breadcrumbs, eggs, green onions, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Cook the Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the walleye cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Grill the Lemon

    While the cakes are cooking, slice the lemon in half and grill for about 2-3 minutes until charred.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the walleye cakes hot, topped with Forager Farms micros and alongside grilled lemon.
