Trout Cakes
Ingredients
  • aluminum foil
  • 3 pounds skinless, boneless trout fillets
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
  • 3/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
Instructions
1
Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Prepare the baking dish: Cover a 9x13-inch baking pan with a generous sheet of aluminum foil, ensuring it's large enough to accommodate the trout fillets.
3
Create the fish packets: Place the trout fillets inside the prepared pan, followed by a drizzle of butter and lemon juice. Fold the aluminum foil over the fish to form a sealed package.
4
Bake in the oven: Place the fish packets in the preheated oven and cook until they break apart easily with a fork, approximately 1 hour.
5
Simultaneously prepare the cocktail sauce: In a small bowl, combine ketchup and horseradish until they're fully incorporated. Store the sauce in the refrigerator until it's needed.
6
Prepare the fish patties: Remove the cooked trout from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Flake the fish into a large bowl, then add bread crumbs, onion, and celery to the mixture. Combine everything thoroughly.
7
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, mayonnaise, and lemon-pepper seasoning until they're well blended. Add the egg mixture to the fish mixture and mix until everything is fully incorporated. Form the mixture into 12 patties.
8
Heat oil in a deep skillet: In a deep skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches until they're deep golden brown, taking about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
9
Serve the fish patties: Serve the cooked patties with the reserved cocktail sauce.
