Ingredients

🐟 500g fresh white fish fillets, skinless, e.g. cod or haddock
🌿 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
🍋 1 tablespoon lemon juice
🧂 1 teaspoon sea salt
🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
🥔 1 medium potato, boiled and mashed
🥖 4 burger buns
🥒 4 lettuce leaves
🍅 1 tomato, sliced
🧅 1 small red onion, sliced

Instructions

1- Prepare the Fish Mixture:

• Chop the fish fillets into small pieces. If you have a food processor (e.g., Cuisinart), pulse the fish until roughly minced.
• In a large bowl, combine the minced fish, chopped parsley, lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and mashed potato. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

2- Shape the Patties:

• Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape them into burger patties.
• Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to help them firm up.

3- Cook the Patties:

• Heat a non-stick frying pan (e.g., T-fal) over medium heat.
• Add a small amount of oil if necessary, though a non-stick pan should suffice.
• Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

4- Assemble the Burgers:

• Toast the burger buns for a few minutes in a toaster oven (e.g., Breville).
• Place lettuce leaves on the bottom bun, followed by the fish patty.
• Top with tomato slices and red onion rings, then finish with the top bun.

5- Serve:

• Serve immediately with a side of crispy fries or a light salad for a refreshing meal.
