Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 3 pounds walleye fillets

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • ½ cup dry white wine

  • 1 carrot, shredded

  • 1 red onion, diced

  • 1 stalk celery, diced

  • 4 cups panko bread crumbs

  • 2 cups mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons oil for frying, or as needed

Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Place walleye fillets in a baking dish, pour in wine, and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Allow the fish to cool and break it into large chunks. Set aside.

  3. Mix carrot, red onion, celery, panko crumbs, 2 cups mayonnaise, seafood seasoning, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl until well blended. Add the walleye, mixing gently so the chunks of fish don't break apart. Shape the mixture into 12 patties.

  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Fry the patties until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

  5. Whisk lemon juice and fresh dill into 1 cup mayonnaise in a bowl. Drizzle the sauce over the walleye cakes and serve.
