Method

Walleye Cakes Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Walleye

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the walleye fillets and cook for about 10 minutes or until they are fully cooked and flake easily with a fork. Drain and allow to cool slightly before flaking the fish into a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    To the bowl with flaked walleye, add breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, chopped green onions, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Cakes

    With your hands, form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.

  4. 4

    Cook Walleye Cakes

    In a skillet over medium heat, add vegetable oil. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Lemon Caper Aioli Preparation

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped capers, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until fully combined.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare Buns

    Toast the brioche buns either in a toaster or on a griddle until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Slice Vegetables

    While the buns are toasting, slice the tomatoes and red onions.

  3. 8

    Assemble Sandwiches

    Spread a generous amount of lemon caper aioli on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun. Top with a walleye cake, followed by shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and red onions. Finish with the top half of the bun.
