Mushroom Fish Burger

A while back I was searching for a great fish burger recipe, thinking the key would be some delicious sauce. Instead, I stumbled across this amazing recipe on the Power of Mushrooms site, featuring a fish burger with mushrooms. I had never really thought about using mushrooms with fish but I gave it a try. It is now a favourite of my husband and I.

Whilst the original recipe is for an open burger, we have ours sandwiched between a whole bun. I also use ling fillets because they are quick to cook and very tender, however you could substitute your favourite fish fillet. Finally, I use baby spinach leaves in place of rocket.

Mushroom Fish Burger

Serves 2

300-350g ling fillets
Cajun spice blend
Cooking oil spray
2 large, flat mushrooms
2 hamburger buns
Approx 1/2 cup tartare sauce
Baby spinach leaves
Tomato

1. Start off my cutting up the ling into pieces that will fit your burger buns. Sprinkle each side of the trimmed fish with Cajun spice and set aside.

2. Remove stalks from mushroom and if need be, trim around edges to get them as flat as possible.

3. Spray a small fry pan with cooking oil and place the mushrooms in the pan. Cook on stove top at a medium-high temperature, turning over a few times as each side browns. Cook them to your liking. It probably only takes me 5-6 minutes to cook the mushrooms. Once cooked, turn off the heat and just leave in pan until ready to use.

4. Slice buns open and place them on a plate. Spread base of buns with half of the tartare sauce (or as much as you desire)!

5. Place baby spinach leaves on top of tartare sauce and then top them with a couple of slices of tomato.

6. Meanwhile, spray another fry pan with cooking oil spray and heat up. Once heated, cook fish fillets, turning them over midway through. Depending on thickness of fillets, this step doesn't take very long at all.

7. Once fish is cooked, add to your burger buns and then place the cooked mushrooms on top of the fish.

8. Finally, top with remainder of tartare sauce and enjoy :) I love burgers served with homemade chips.


A quick, easy and delicious burger that's perfect for those busy days!
