Trout Patties

Came up with this recipe because I have 2 avid fishermen in my home and plenty of trout to cook. Also have a recipe for an easy homemade cocktail sauce, which goes well with the patties, but it's optional.

Ingredients

• vegetable oil for frying
• 3 eggs
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
• ¾ cup ketchup
• ½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 ½ teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
• 3 pounds skinless, boneless trout fillets

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap up trout in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Place trout in the prepared pan; drizzle butter and lemon juice on top. Fold up aluminum foil to enclose trout in a packet.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 1 hour. Cool for 10 minutes. Flake into a large bowl; add onion and celery. Mix in seasoned bread crumbs.

Step 4

Beat eggs, mayonnaise, and lemon pepper seasoning in a small bowl until blended. Mix into trout mixture. Form trout mixture into 12 patties.

Step 5

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry patties in batches until deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

Step 6

Mix ketchup and horseradish together in a small bowl to make cocktail sauce. Serve with trout patties.
