Minnesota Walleye Cakes

    3 pounds walleye fillets
    salt and ground black pepper to taste
    1/2 cup dry white wine
    1 carrot, shredded
    1 red onion, diced
    1 stalk celery, diced
    4 cups panko bread crumbs
    2 cups mayonnaise
    1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons oil for frying, or as needed

    Sauce:
    3 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
    1 cup mayonnaise
    Add all ingredients to list

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
    
Place walleye fillets in a baking dish, pour in wine, and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Allow the fish to cool and break it into large chunks. Set aside.
    
Mix carrot, red onion, celery, panko crumbs, 2 cups mayonnaise, seafood seasoning, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl until well blended. Add the walleye, mixing gently so the chunks of fish don't break apart. Shape the mixture into 12 patties.
    
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Fry the patties until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
    
Whisk lemon juice and fresh dill into 1 cup mayonnaise in a bowl. Drizzle the sauce over the walleye cakes and serve.
