Method

Burgers

  1. 1

    Prepare Fish Patties

    Season the salmon, snapper, and ahi tuna fillets with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear each fillet for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before placing on burger buns.

Coleslaw

  1. 2

    Make Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage and shredded carrot. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture and toss well to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tartar Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare Tartar Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Stir until all ingredients are well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate until ready to use.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, place a cooked fish patty. Top with coleslaw, a slice of tomato, and cheese (either cheddar or jack, or both). Spread a generous amount of tartar sauce on the top half of the bun, then close the burger and serve immediately.
