Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Northern Pike fillets (boneless)
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Cut the Northern Pike fillets into chunks and pulse them in a food processor until finely minced. Alternatively, you can finely mince the fish with a knife.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced fish, breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, parsley, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place the patties on a plate or baking sheet and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to firm them up.
Heat olive oil or vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the patties to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the patties are golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Northern Pike patties warm with your favorite dipping sauce, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, or atop a mixed green salad.
