Walleye Cakes

Method

Walleye Cakes

  1. 1

    Cook the Walleye

    In a pot of boiling water, cook the walleye fillets for about 10-12 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from water and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Walleye Mixture

    Flake the cooled walleye fillets into a large bowl. Add breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, eggs, dried jalapeño flakes, chopped dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties (about 3 inches in diameter). Place the formed cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Cook the Walleye Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Creamy Cucumbers

  1. 5

    Prepare the Cucumbers

    In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced cucumbers with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss well and set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.

  2. 6

    Make the Creamy Sauce

    In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream and chopped dill until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 7

    Combine and Serve

    After the cucumbers have marinated, add the creamy sauce to the cucumber mixture and toss until well coated. Serve alongside the walleye cakes.
