Fish Burgers - Great For Leftovers Fish!




Fish burgers are a great way to use up leftover fish or to make from fresh fish. Old Bay Seasoning is one of my favorite seasonings to add to this recipe. If the fish mixture is too moist add some bread crumbs. Fish burgers are a great alternative for the pescaterian (vegetarians who eat fish)

Add some tartar sauce, lettuce, tomato and a sesame seed bun!

INGREDIENTS
(approx 12 burgers)

3 lbs cooked cod (or use other white fish)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder (optional)
1 tablespoon seasoning salt (or to taste)
1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (or to taste, this stuff is very hot!)
1 large green onion, finely chopped (optional)
2 1/2 cups finely crushed seasoned croutons (or used crushed cornflakes)
oil (for frying)

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl combine all ingredients except the crushed croutons; mix well to combine.
2. Shape into about 10-12 patties.
3. Coat each patty with the crushed croutons or crushed cornflakes.
4. Place the patties on a baking sheet and chill for 2 hours.
5. Pour oil to a depth of about 1/2-inch into a large heavy skillet, heat to medium heat.
6. Fry the patties about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden; drain on paper towels.
