Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Bay scallops
- 75 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 120 grams Mayonnaise
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 10 grams Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 pieces Mini slider buns
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
Instructions
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels, then finely chop them with a knife or pulse them in a food processor until coarse.
In a bowl, combine the chopped scallops, egg, panko breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon of salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture comes together.
Form the mixture into 8 small patties, each about 6 cm in diameter and 1 cm thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to firm up.
Meanwhile, prepare the cilantro lime mayo by mixing the mayonnaise, minced cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt in a small bowl. Stir well and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the scallop patties for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Lightly toast the slider buns in the same skillet or a separate pan until golden.
Assemble the sliders by spreading a generous amount of cilantro lime mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Place a scallop patty on top, followed by a handful of shredded lettuce. Add the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Scallop Burger Sliders!
