For Cooking

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Walleye

    Begin by poaching the walleye fillets in a pot of simmering water for about 10 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove and let cool, then flake the fish into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Finely chop the green onions and celery. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

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

Cooking

  1. 4

    Form the Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties using your hands. Refrigerate the patties for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while cooking.

  2. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  3. 6

    Cook the Cakes

    Carefully place the walleye cakes into the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the cakes from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
