Walleye Cakes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound cooked Walleye Filets
  • 2 eggs
  • 1-1/2 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp seafood seasoning
  • 2-1/2 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup saltine crackers
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives and dill
  • juice of one lemon
  • Wild West Seasonings Golden Crispy Fish Seasoning

Tarter Sauce:

  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1-1/2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tbsp minced onion
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill

Combine the eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, seafood seasoning, crushed crackers, chives, Dill, salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl and mix well. Add the cooked walleye meat (shredded); using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mixture together until just combined, being careful not to break down the walleye. Shape into 6 cakes (each about 1/3 cup) , coat with Golden Crispy Fish seasoning and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps them set.

Preheat a large nonstick pan to medium heat and coat with canola oil. When the oil is hot, place the walleye cakes in the pan and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve immediately with tartar sauce or a squeeze of lemon.
