Method

Preparation of Halibut Burgers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Halibut

    Finely chop the halibut fillets and place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add the panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the chopped halibut.

  3. 3

    Bind the Mixture

    Beat the egg in a separate bowl and add it to the halibut mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

  4. 4

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

  5. 5

    Chill the Patties

    Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Preparation of French Fries

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips.

  2. 7

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 8

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels.

  4. 9

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F).

  5. 10

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  6. 11

    Season the Fries

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.

Cooking the Halibut Burgers

  1. 12

    Prepare the Batter

    Place all-purpose flour in a shallow dish.

  2. 13

    Coat the Patties

    Remove the patties from the refrigerator. Dredge each patty in the flour, coating both sides.

  3. 14

    Heat Oil for Frying

    In a large skillet, heat enough oil over medium heat to cover the bottom of the pan.

  4. 15

    Fry the Burgers

    Add the coated patties to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Assembly and Serving

  1. 16

    Prepare the Buns

    Lightly toast the buns if desired.

  2. 17

    Assemble the Burgers

    Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a halibut patty, a slice of tomato, and a slice of pickle.

  3. 18

    Top and Serve

    Place the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately with a side of hot French fries.
