I have seen a lot of recipes for walleye fish, but they all seem 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 for walleye cakes?

Ingredients

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

Directions

Combine cornflake crumbs, bread crumbs, and flour in a shallow dish; set aside.
Grind walleye fillets, or chop finely and place in a mixing bowl. Add carrots, zucchini, onions, garlic, eggs, dry mustard, lemon juice, and salt. Season with black pepper. Mix with your hands until evenly combined.
Form walleye mixture into 1/3-cup cakes, each about 3/4 inch thick, and press into cornflake mixture. Set walleye cakes on a baking sheet in a single layer; do not stack.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook walleye cakes in batches until firmed and golden brown on each side, about 8 minutes per side.
