Crispy Fish Burger Recipe
You will no longer order this fish burger as a takeout once you know how to make it at home. The crispy panko-breaded codfish is packed with flavours, light, flaky and seriously delicious. It is quick, easy, and better than McDonald's filet-O-fish.
Ingredients
- 4 codfish fillet or any other white fish
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs you can use plain or golden breadcrumbs as a substitute.
- ½ tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Cayenne pepper to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup vegetable oil to fry
- ½ tsp chicken stock powder optional
other ingredients
- Romaine lettuce to serve
- 4 Burger buns brioche or plain burger bun
Dill-Mayonnaise burger sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped substitute with 1 teaspoon dried dill
- ½ teaspoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice for a milder taste
- pinch of salt to season optional
- 1 tablespoon water optional
Instructions
- Pat the fish dry with a kitchen towel then season on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Crack the eggs into a shallow bowl, and add smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, chicken stock powder, a pinch of salt, and pepper (remember the fish is already seasoned). Whisk to combine
- In a separate bowl, add panko or plain breadcrumbs
- Add the fish one at a time to the seasoned egg and carefully coat until covered then place in the breadcrumbs and coat on all sides, shaking off any excess. Transfer the fish to a plate then repeat the process with the remaining ones.
- Heat up oil on medium-high heat, not overcrowding the pan, and fry the fish for about 3 to 4 minutes on both sides. Remove from the pan and transfer on a kitchen towel to drain off excess oil.
Make the dill-mayo sauce
- to a small bowl add mayonnaise, chopped dill, mustard, and lemon juice, and mix to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add about a tablespoon of water or apple cider vinegar to lighten it up.
- Assemble the burger: you can toast the burger bun if desired otherwise simply use it plain. Spread the burger sauce on both sides of the bun, add the lettuce to the bottom bun, fish, and cover with the top bun. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
To make the fish in the air fryer or oven
Air fryer: Follow all the steps above, transfer the breaded fish to the air fryer basket then lightly spray with cooking oil. cook at 200C/390F for 10 to 12 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Flip it halfway through, the fish should flake away easily when it is fully cooked
Oven-baked: Same as above, transfer the fish to a baking tray then spray lightly with cooking oil. Bake in a preheated oven at 180C/365F for 12 to 15 minutes flipping it halfway through the cooking time.
Tips
Bring the fish out from the fridge about 15 to 30 minutes before cooking and place on a kitchen paper towel to soak up all the excess moisture from the fish.
If you would be cooking the fish in batches, place the fried ones in a preheated oven or air fryer at 170C/340F to help keep the fish warm while you finish off the rest. It also helps the fish from getting soggy too.
Apart from lettuce, you can use tomatoes and avocado slices or even gherkin and cheese slices if you desire to top the burger.
