Walleye Cakes Recipe
- 1 cup cornflake crumbs
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 18 ounces skinless, boneless walleye fillets
- 8 baby carrots, finely chopped
- 1 zucchini, finely chopped
- 2 small onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ground black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Combine the cornflake crumbs, bread crumbs, and flour in a shallow dish; set aside. Grind the walleye fillets, or chop finely and place into a mixing bowl. Add the carrots, zucchini, onions, garlic, and eggs. Season with dry mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until evenly combined.
- Form the walleye mixture into 1/3-cup cakes about 3/4-inch thick, and press into the cornflake mixture. Set the walleye cakes onto a baking sheet in a single layer — do not stack.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the walleye cakes in batches until firmed and golden brown on each side, about 8 minutes per side.
