Fish Burgers are medallions of fish that are crispy on the outside and tender and juicy at the heart, ideal to serve for any family lunch or dinner, either as a main dish, enclosed inside soft burger buns, or as a course together with a portion of grilled vegetables or other seasonal side dish.

Preparing them is very simple. Simply blend a skinned and diced swordfish steak in a blender with the peeled shrimp, a sprig of parsley, and the lemon zest. Once the mixture is combined with a couple of tablespoons of flour, all you have to do is shape several burgers using a pastry cutter 8-10 cm in diameter, then coat them in a rich coating of flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs, and finally cook them in a nonstick pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

The result will be fragrant and very tasty burgers, to be served piping hot inside a soft sesame bun and then filled as desired with lettuce leaves, fried potato chips and a drizzle of creamy mayonnaise.

What Fish Can I Use to Make Fish Burgers?

If you like, you can make the fish burgers with other types of fish, such as grouper, cod, or plaice. You can add a mixture of capers and olives, or a mix of aromatic herbs of your choice, to the mixture. Or, for a more sinful variation, you can fry them in boiling seed oil.

How to Make Fish Burgers

Step 1

Peel the swordfish steak and cut it into small cubes.

Step 2

Clean the prawns: remove the head and shell and, with the help of a toothpick, remove the dark filament of the intestine.

Step 3

Collect the diced swordfish and the cleaned shellfish in the jug of a mixer, season with a sprig of parsley and the lemon zest and blend everything well until you obtain a fairly smooth mixture.

Step 4

Transfer the minced fish into a bowl, season with salt and pepper and pour in the flour.

Step 5

Mix well with a spoon.

Step 6

Divide the dough into four equal parts and, using a 8-10 cm diameter pastry cutter, form lots of fish burgers on a sheet of baking paper; then prepare three bowls for the breading and place the egg, previously beaten with a pinch of salt, in one, the flour in another and the lightly salted breadcrumbs in the last.

Step 7

Dip the burgers in the flour first, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs.

Step 8

At this point, heat a spoonful of extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick pan and arrange the fish burgers and let them cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking with a spatula.
