Thai fish burgers

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:

1 lb white fish
450g
1 tbsp lime zest
16g
1 cup scallions
50g
2 tsp coriander leaves
6g
1/2 cup sour cream
120g
2 tbsp curry paste
30g
2 tbsp salsa sauce
30g
1 tsp fish sauce
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the White Fish:
- 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.
2. Mix Ingredients:
- 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.
3. Form Patties:
- 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.
4. Chill Patties (Optional for Better Handling):
- 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.
5. Cook Patties:
- 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).
6. Assemble & Serve:
- 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.
7. Enjoy:
- 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.
