Bluefish Burgers

Recipe by: Stefanie Sacks, MS, CNS, CDN

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

  • 1.5 lbs. bluefish filet

  • 1 lemon, to clean fish

  • 1 teaspoon salt, to clean fish

  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, minced (or 1/2 T dried)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, picked (or 1/2 T dried)

  • 2 tablespoons red onion, small dice

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1/2 cup cornmeal or breadcrumbs

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise

DIRECTIONS

  1. To clean fish, douse fillets with lemon and salt, then rinse under cold water. Place on a clean, dry side towel or layered paper towel. 

  2. To prep fish, cut flesh from remaining skin making sure to remove the dark blue/red flesh (it can carry a very strong flavor). Pick through the bones then cut the flesh into large dice-sized chunks and place in large bowl. 

  3. Add fresh herbs (or dried), onion, garlic, bread crumbs (or cornmeal), mayonnaise, egg and mix well. Form into 4 burger patties and place on plate for storage in fridge for 30 minutes; this will ensure that burgers are firm. Cook on grill as you would any burger.
