CRISPY FRIED FISH BURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Get your dredging station ready: Sift flour onto a plate and spread out. To another plate, add panko, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, onion powder, paprika, thyme, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder, whisking to combine. In a bowl, whisk egg. Set aside.
• Cut cod into two equal pieces and pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
• Dredge each piece of cod in flour, coating all around, shaking off excess.
• Then, dip cod into whisked egg, shaking off excess
• Finally, dredge cod in panko bread crumbs, coating all around, pressing to adhere. You can place on a plate while you are getting your oil ready.
• Place the canola or vegetable oil into a large heavy-duty pot with high/tall sides suitable for frying (I used a high sided cast-iron pot).Note: Use enough oil to come up to 2 inches up the side of the pot. To monitor your oil temperature, a candy and deep-fry thermometer clipped to the side of the pot (with the tip submerged in the oil) is a great tool to use.
• Heat the pot of oil over medium heat. You want an oil temperature of about 360 degrees Fahrenheit.Note: Oil may drop in temperature when fish is placed in there, but try to keep it around that temperature.
• Gently lower each piece of cod into the oil, away from you, and cook for 3 minutes. Carefully turn the cod pieces and continue to cook for another 3 minutes or until cod is cooked through, is opaque, and flakes easily with a fork (insert the tines of a fork into the thickest part of the fish at an angle and twist gently; it should flake easily). Note: Depending on the thickness of the cod pieces, you may have to cook longer.
• When cooked, carefully remove cod from the oil (a spider strainer works great for removing the cooked cod).Optional: Place cod on a cooling rack over a baking sheet to drain of any excess grease for a minute or two, if necessary (though, mine weren't greasy).
• Sprinkle cod with additional salt (if desired).
• Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until well incorporated.
• Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, stirring to combine.
• Assemble fish burgers: toast buns (if you like), spread the cut side of each bun with tartar sauce, place piece of fish on bottom buns, top with coleslaw (and any of the other garnish options (if you like), and place top buns over top (with tartar sauce on the inside) to form your fish burgers. Serve and enjoy!

FISH BURGERS

ALASKAN COD MISOYAKI FISH BURGER

Steps:

• For the miso sauce and marinade: Combine the mirin and sake in a pot and bring to a boil to burn off the alcohol. Add the sugar to the mixture and dissolve. Add the miso and cook until a light caramel color is achieved. Remove from the heat and cool completely. Once completely cooled, separate out the amount desired for drizzling on the burgers.
• For the cod: Rinse and pat dry the cod fillets before marinating. Take the remaining amount of miso marinade and rub it over the fish. Cover and marinade in the fridge for 2 days.
• For the amazu dressing: Combine the sugar, rice vinegar, salt and kombu in a pot and bring to a simmer to mix thoroughly. Remove from the heat, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. After 24 hours, remove the kombu.
• For the amazu salad: Toss together the arugula, radishes and pickled red ginger in a large bowl. Toss with the amazu dressing.
• Remove the cod from the fridge and remove any excess miso marinade off the fish. Broil on medium-high heat until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• For the burgers: Toast the brioche buns. Add 1 piece of broiled cod fillet and drizzle the reserved miso sauce over the fillet. Top with 1 cup of the amazu salad.

CRISPY SESAME FISH BURGER WITH LIME MAYO

Steps:

• Cut the fish into 4 chunky fingers. Put the flour in a bowl with some seasoning, put the egg in another bowl, and the breadcrumbs and sesame seeds in a third. Dust the fish fingers in flour, then dip in egg and, finally, coat in breadcrumbs. Chill for 10 mins, if you have time.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan and cook the fish fingers for 3-4 mins each side until golden and cooked through, adding a drizzle more oil if the pan looks too dry.
• Meanwhile, stone, peel and slice the avocado, squeeze over a little of the lime juice to prevent it from turning brown, then mix the remaining lime juice and coriander into the mayonnaise.
• To serve, spread a little mayo over the base of each bun, top with 2 fish fingers, a few slices of avocado and the bun lid. Serve the remaining mayo on the side.

FISH BURGERS WITH A HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce, put all the ingredients in the bowl of your food processor, process until all the herbs are tiny specks, taste to see if it needs more salt
• Pour the sauce in a bowl and place in the fridge for at least one hour, it will become thicker whilst resting
• For the burgers, clean the food-processor bowl and put in: the fish, egg, breadcrumbs, zest, chili pepper, coriander, ginger, salt, green onions and the parsley
• Process using the on and off technique until it becomes almost like a paste, but do not over- process
• Remove from the processor and transfer to a bowl, mix in the carrots, leave to stand for approx 15 minutes (it will firm up a bit)
• Shape into 4 burgers or into smaller portions
• If you have a grill pan preheat it, brush some oil on to the burgers and grill a few minutes on each side until browned and done
• In a frying pan heat some oil first and then fry on each side for a few minutes until browned and done
• Serve with the sauce on the side as a burger on a bun or with fries or sautéed potatoes with a salad

BEER-BATTERED FISH BURGERS

Steps:

• To quick-pickle the onions, mix them with a pinch of salt and the vinegar, then set aside. Mix all the ingredients for the tartar sauce, and set aside. Both can be made up to a day ahead and kept chilled.
• To make the batter, tip the flours and spices into a small bowl with a pinch of salt, then pour over the beer or fizzy water. Mix quickly until it just comes together with the consistency of double cream - don't over-beat (a few lumps are fine). Keep chilled until needed.
• Carefully heat the oil in a large wide pan like a wok, ensuring the pan is no more than two-thirds full, or heat a deep-fat fryer to 185C if you have a thermometer. The oil is hot enough when a drizzle of batter crisps in less than a minute.
• Working quickly, season the fish with salt, then dust in flour before dredging through the batter. Hold the fillet above the bowl of batter to let the excess drip back into it, then carefully lower into the oil. Repeat with the second fillet. Fry the two fillets for about 4 mins, turning once, until deep golden and crisp. Carefully lift onto a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain for a minute.
• To assemble, split each roll and spread both the top and bottom generously with the tartar sauce. Place lettuce on the bottom half, then add some pickled onions and a fish fillet. Top with gherkin slices, if you like, then serve straightaway.
