Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 100 grams breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 120 grams plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomatoes
Instructions
Step 1: In a food processor, add the fish fillets, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture comes together but is not completely smooth. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties and refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm them up.
Step 2: In a small bowl, make the herb sauce by combining the plain yogurt, mayonnaise, chopped dill, chopped chives, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Step 3: Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the fish patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Lightly toast the burger buns on a dry skillet or in a toaster. Spread a generous amount of the herb sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
Step 5: Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a fish patty, a slice of tomato, and the top bun. Serve immediately with extra herb sauce on the side.
