Ingredients

  • 450 g sustainable firm white fish (we like haddock or mahi mahi).
  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped.
  • 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley.
  • 2 eggs.
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon smoked paprika (depending how spicy you'd like it).
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon ground chilli powder (depending how spicy you'd like it).
  • zest from 1 lime.
  • salt and pepper, to season.
  • 1/2 cup tinned corn kernels.
  • 1/2 cup almond meal.
  • extra virgin olive oil, for frying.

Paprika Mayo

  • 1/2 cup full-fat, whole-egg mayonnaise or aioli.
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika.
  • squeeze of lime juice.

For serving

  • 1 large Lebanese cucumber, peeled into ribbons with a vegetable peeler.
  • 1 avocado.
  • 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves.
  • 4 sourdough buns, cut in half and inside toasted if you like.

Directions

1. Add raw fish, green onions, parsley, eggs, paprika, chilli, lime zest, salt and pepper into a food processor. Blitz until combined and you have a smooth paste. Remove blade and stir through corn kernels and almond meal.

2. Add olive oil to a frying pan on medium heat. Take ¼ of the fish mixture and loosely form into a patty. Place onto the frying pan. Repeat with remaining mixture (you may need to do this in batches if you have a small frying pan). Cook patties for 7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side until brown and patties are cooked through (about another 5 minutes). Once all patties are cooked, set aside.

3. To make Paprika Mayo, combine all ingredients together in a small bowl.

4. Now to assemble the burgers. Layer the bottom sourdough bun with cucumber ribbons, top with a fish patty, avocado slices, drizzle with Paprika Mayo and sprinkle with some parsley leaves. Place on the top of the bun and serve.
