Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Seafood     Fish Cake Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

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
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Whisk lemon juice and fresh dill into 1 cup mayonnaise in a bowl. Drizzle the sauce over the walleye cakes and serve.

WALLEYE CAKES



Walleye Cakes image

I have seen a lot of recipes for walleye fish, but they all seemed to be breaded and deep-fried or battered and deep-fried or just baked... So I figured if you can make fish cakes tasty with salmon and so on... Why not post a recipe up for walleye... Frankly I am just tired of deep frying up walleye once a week. It is time for a tasty change.

THE BEST CRAB CAKES



The Best Crab Cakes image

When we set out to make the "best" crab cakes, opinions in the test kitchen were strong and varied. But we could all agree on plenty of fresh, high-quality crabmeat with very little filler. After some tinkering, we created these decadent cakes-generously sized and highly seasoned-with plenty of lemon juice, fresh herbs and spices. The jumbo lump crabmeat is front and center, so splurge on the best and freshest you can find.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 crab cakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds fresh jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
1 1/2 cups panko
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped chives
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Juice and zest of 1 lemon, plus more lemon wedges for serving
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup chopped dill pickles (about 2 whole pickles)
1 tablespoon capers, chopped
1 tablespoon minced chives
Juice and zest of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • For the crab cakes: Gently fold together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, Dijon mustard, seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper and the juice and zest of one lemon in a large bowl. Refrigerate the crab mixture for 15 minutes to firm up; this allows the breadcrumbs to absorb some of the liquid, helping the crab cakes bind together.
  • Meanwhile, make the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, chives, zest and juice of 1 lemon in a medium bowl and mix until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Scoop heaping half cups of the crab mixture and pat into 2 1/2-inch wide patties. Lightly press them together so they do not fall apart while cooking. You should have 8 patties.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes to the pan and cook until golden, about 2 minutes, then flip using a flat metal spatula. Continue to cook until lightly golden, about 1 1/2 minutes then transfer the pan to the oven. Cook until the crab cakes are completely heated through, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve the crab cakes with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

WALLEYE CAKES

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 fillets walleye or other white flaky fish such as black bass or tilapia (about 1 pound 1 ounce)
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (6 grams), plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives (4 grams)
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 celery stalks (80 grams), finely diced (about 1/3 cup or 51 grams)
Sour cream, for garnish
Sliced cornichons, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the fish on top. Drizzle the fish evenly with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over each of the fillets. Bake until the fish is opaque and can be easily flaked with a fork, about 10 minutes. Let cool until warm, about 10 minutes.
  • Flake the fish (leave the skin on the baking sheet; the meat should easily pull away from it) and transfer to a medium bowl (you should have about 339 grams fish). Add the panko, mayonnaise, capers, dill, chives, lemon zest, celery, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper and mix to combine.
  • Form the mixture into tablespoon-sized patties (about 16 grams each). (You should get 20 to 24 patties.) Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, fry the patties until golden brown and can easily pull away from the pan, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining patties. Dollop with some sour cream, a few sprigs of dill or sliced cornichons on top and secure with a toothpick. Serve immediately.
