Ingredients
12 servings
- •aluminum foil
- •3 pounds skinless, boneless trout fillets
- •3 tablespoons butter, melted
- •3 tablespoons lemon juice
- •0.5 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- •1 small onion, chopped
- •1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- •3 large eggs
- •2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- •1.5 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning
- •0.5 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
- •0.75 cup ketchup
- •2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap trout fillets into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Start the patties: Place trout fillets on the foil in the prepared pan; drizzle butter and lemon juice over trout. Fold the aluminum foil and seal the edges to enclose trout in a packet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, make the cocktail sauce: Mix ketchup and horseradish together in a small bowl until well combined. Refrigerate until needed.
- Finish the patties: Remove trout from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Flake fish into a large bowl. Add bread crumbs, onion, and celery; mix to combine.
- Whisk eggs, mayonnaise, and lemon-pepper seasoning together in a small bowl until blended. Add to trout mixture and mix until combined. Form mixture into 12 patties.
- Heat 1/4 inch oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, fry patties until deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Serve patties with reserved cocktail sauce.
