Fish Patty Burger

One of the best gifts I've received in Christmas was a year long subscription of Yummy magazine from my good friend, Tin. This magazine can make your mouth water with its visual stimulating pictures. One feature I look forward to is that of Myra Santiago's. Having 3 boys, she features practical and easy to do recipes that are delicious and healthy. Here's one recipe I saved from their February 2009 issue: 


1 package frozen cream dory or sole fillets
2 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
a dash of pepper
1/2 cup flour
canola or corn oil for frying
6 to 8 hamburger buns
1 cup shredded lettuce, to serve

For the tartar sauce
1 cup mayonnaise, reduced fat preferred
2 tablespoons pickle relish
1 tablespoon minced white onions
1 teaspoon prepared mustard (optional)
salt and pepper to taste


1. Cook fish fillets in salted water and flake.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked fish, eggs, breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form large, palm-size patties. Dredge the fish patties lightly in flour and fry until golden brown, with slightly crispy edges.

3. To make your own tartar sauce, combine the mayonnaise, pickle relish, onions, mustard, and salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Mix well and set aside until ready to use.

 3  When almost ready to serve, heat a pan and toast the insides of the hamburger buns. Serve this with the fish patties, your homemade tartar sauce, and some shredded lettuce leaves.

Yummy! The tartar sauce is a must! So easy to make that I can replace beef hamburger for this healthier option any time!
