Baked instead of fried, these walleye patties are full of flavor with less fat!
Ingredients
- 1 pound walleye fillets, minced (fresh or frozen) (2-8 ounce fillets)
- 1/2 cup onion, minced
- 1/2 cup celery, minced
- 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 cup crushed crackers, unsalted
- 1 egg (or 2 Tbsp dried egg mix + 1/4 cup water)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dill
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Cooking spray
Directions
Wash hands with soap and water.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place minced fish in a colander and press firmly to remove as much moisture as possible.

- Shape mixture into 8 patties. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray and place patties at least 1 inch apart on the pan.
