Shrimp Cod Burgers With Tarragon Tartar Sauce Food

SHRIMP AND COD BURGERS

Steps:

• Process half of the shrimp in a food processor until a paste forms. Add cod, remaining shrimp, the breadcrumbs, capers, scallions, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pulse until just combined.
• Using dampened hands, shape into 4 patties. Refrigerate, covered, until cold and firm, about 1 1/2 hours (or overnight).
• Preheat grill to medium-high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds). Brush grill and burgers with oil. Grill, flipping once, until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Toast buns on grill during the last minute of cooking, if desired. Serve burgers on buns; top with lettuce. Serve with tartar sauce, if desired, and the lemon wedges.

SHRIMP BURGERS WITH AVOCADO TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the tartar sauce: With the motor running, drop the shallot and garlic through the food chute of a food processor until minced. Remove the lid and add the avocado, lime zest, lime juice, capers, parsley, mayonnaise, Dijon and seasoning salt. Pulse until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the burgers: Wash and dry the food processor bowl and blade. Add the shrimp and cilantro to the food processor. Pulse until combined. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Combine the eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon and seafood seasoning in a small bowl. Add to the shrimp mixture and stir gently to combine. Fold in the crackers. Shape the mixture into 8 patties.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add some canola oil. Add the patties and brown until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
• To serve, spread the tartar sauce on the rolls. Top with the patties, lettuce, onion, tomatoes and roll tops.

CRISPY BAKED FISH WITH TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees and set a rack in the upper part. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, capers, pickles, herbs and Worcestershire sauce. Using a Microplane, finely grate the garlic into the bowl, then grate in the zest of the lemon. (Hold onto the lemon; you'll use the juice later.) Stir to combine and season the tartar sauce to taste with salt and lots of pepper.
• In a small bowl, stir together the panko and olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Pat the fish dry on all sides and season lightly all over with salt and pepper. Transfer to a lightly greased or foil-lined sheet pan. Coat the top with a thin layer of the tartar sauce (a scant tablespoon per fillet). Sprinkle the panko evenly on top (about 2 tablespoons per fillet), pressing gently to adhere.
• Bake the fish on the top rack until almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes for fillets between ½- and ¾-inch-thick (though you should check earlier, if using a thinner fish). An instant-read thermometer should read somewhere between 125 and 130 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the fish.
• Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon juice from the lemon to the tartar sauce and cut the remaining lemon into 4 wedges for serving.
• When the fish is nearly cooked through, switch the oven to broil. Broil the fish on the top rack until the bread crumbs are golden and the fish flakes easily and registers 140 degrees in the thickest part, 2 to 3 minutes. Eat with a spoonful of tartar sauce, more black pepper and a squeeze of lemon. (Any extra tartar sauce will keep for up to a week in the fridge.)

JUMBO SHRIMP WITH TARRAGON SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the tarragon sauce: combine the soured cream, tarragon, mustard and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat a large frying pan. Brush the shrimp with oil, add to the pan and cook over a high heat until they turn pink.
• Keeping the heat high, add half of the wine and the garlic. Boil rapidly for 2-3 mins then stir in 2 tbs of the parsley.
• When the wine has reduced slightly, lower the heat and add the remaining wine and season with salt and pepper.
• Simmer for 5 minutes Spoon the cooking juices over the shrimp, sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve hot with the tarragon sauce on the side.
