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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Heat olive oil or vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

Serve the Northern Pike patties warm with your favorite dipping sauce, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, or atop a mixed green salad.
