Thai Fish Burgers are a delightful fusion of aromatic herbs, spices, and fresh seafood. Perfect for those looking to add a twist to their regular burger routine, this recipe incorporates the vibrant flavors of Thai cuisine to create a delicious and memorable meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels. Cut the fish into small pieces and place them in a food processor. Pulse the fish until it is coarsely ground but not a paste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground white fish with the lime zest, finely chopped scallions, chopped coriander leaves, sour cream, curry paste, salsa sauce, and fish sauce.
- Using your hands, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties. You can make 4-6 patties, depending on your preferred size.
- Place the formed patties on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate them for about 20-30 minutes to firm up. This step helps the patties hold together better during cooking.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the pan with oil or cooking spray.
- Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Serve the Thai fish burgers on buns or lettuce wraps, and garnish with your favorite toppings. Popular options include lettuce, tomato, cucumber slices, or extra salsa sauce.
- You can also serve these fish burgers with a side salad or fries for a complete meal.
- Enjoy your delicious Thai Fish Burgers!
Tips:
- Choose a firm white fish like cod, haddock, or halibut which holds together well during cooking.
- Finely chop the scallions and coriander leaves to distribute their flavors evenly throughout the burger.
- Pre-make the fish mixture and let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to help the patties hold their shape better when cooking.
- Use a food processor for mixing the fish, lime zest, scallions, coriander, curry paste, and fish sauce to achieve a smoother consistency if desired.
- To prevent the burgers from sticking to the grill or pan, brush a small amount of oil on the cooking surface beforehand.
- Serve the burgers with a fresh cucumber and carrot slaw or an Asian-inspired salad for a complete meal.
