Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 g white fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 80 g panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 small garlic cloves, finely minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large sliced tomato
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the white fish fillets, panko breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture comes together but is not overly pureed. The mixture should be slightly chunky for texture.
Using lightly oiled hands, divide the fish mixture into four equal portions, and shape each into a patty about 1 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the chilled fish patties into the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the patties are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 63°C (145°F).
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a separate pan or toaster for added texture and flavor.
Assemble the fish burgers: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or your favorite sauce on the bottom half of each burger bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a cooked fish patty, tomato slices, and any additional toppings of your choice. Top with the remaining half of the bun.
Serve the fish burgers immediately with your choice of side dish, like coleslaw, fries, or a simple green salad.
