Cooking Class: Flavors of the Great Lakes

Discover the Great Lakes' secrets in this immersive cooking class with a local chef. 


The class begins by making smoked sockeye salmon cakes with a crispy and golden exterior. Whip up a vibrant lemon caper sauce with aromatic herbs to serve alongside the cakes. Next, you'll learn how to skin and debone a walleye like a professional. Then, bake it on cedar planks to infuse plenty of flavor into the fish. As it bakes, whip up a fragrant bacon dill butter to drizzle on top and serve with crisp seasonal vegetables. Finally, end the meal with dessert by making a sweet and tart cranberry crisp.
