Walleye Wild Rice Cakes By In Fisherman Food

WALLEYE CAKES

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.

WALLEYE CAKES

Steps:

• 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.

WILD RICE GRIDDLE CAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix rice, carrots, onions, cheese, and thyme, add salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle baking powder and flour over mixture, then stir well. Pour in eggs and mix lightly until blended.
• Heat a cast-iron frying pan over a fire or over medium-high heat. Add a thick film of oil. Drop 3 or 4 heaping spoonfuls of batter into pan and flatten slightly, making cakes about 3-inches in diameter. Cook until crispy and well browned on bottom (about 3 minutes), turn cakes with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side (about 2 minutes). Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as necessary. Serve hot.

SALMON WILD RICE CAKES

Steps:

• Poach the salmon and walleye in lightly salted water, then flake. In a large bowl, use a fork to combine the flaked fish, mayonnaise, eggs, wild rice, parmesan cheese, onions and grlic. Add salt and pepper and enough bread crumbs to make the mixture solid enough to form 4-inch wide patties. Saute patties in 3 Tbsp oil over med heat until golden brown, flipping once (up to 5 min each side). Change oil after half the cakes have been fried.

MINNESOTA WALLEYE CAKES

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.
