Trout Patties

• 3 pounds skinless, boneless trout fillets
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
• vegetable oil for frying
• Cocktail Sauce:
• 3/4 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish

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.
2. Place trout in the prepared pan; drizzle butter and lemon juice on top. Fold up aluminum foil to enclose trout in a packet.
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.
4. Beat eggs, mayonnaise, and lemon pepper seasoning in a small bowl until blended. Mix into trout mixture. Form trout mixture into 12 patties.
5. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry patties in batches until deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
6. Mix ketchup and horseradish together in a small bowl to make cocktail sauce. Serve with trout patties.
