PRESENTATION
Hey, ever thought of mixing things up with a burger? Try the burger di pesce. Seriously, it’s like a regular burger but, you know, with fish. Fish burger vibes but way way lighter. You’re getting the best of both worlds here. The patty? It's all about chopped cod fillets mixed with thyme and parsley—makes it really really tasty.
And here's the deal: don't just toss the fish on a bun. Shape it like a burger, double-coat with breadcrumbs for those super crispy edges, then fry it in seed oil. Boom. You get a golden, crunchy outside and a tender, juicy center. Put it all on a homemade bun, and you’ve got something special. Pretty simple.
No special occasion needed for a burger di pesce fatto in casa. Perfect for an easy dinner that feels a bit fancy. Homemade buns? To be honest, they soak up the moist fish and toppings like mayo or tartar sauce—so so good. These sauces? Yeah, they match the delicate cod flavor just right.
Want to switch it up? And look, try using salmon instead for another twist, or bake your hamburger di pesce if you're aiming for less oil (Google "burger di pesce al forno"). However you want it, this ricetta burger di pesce mixes comfort with a bit of flair—great for a relaxed dinner with friends, yet cool enough to impress anyone. For real.
Enjoying a fish burger this way brings out all kinds of flavors between those soft buns. Whether you’re into seafood or just up for trying something different, this dish is a guaranteed hit. Plus, it’s all about freshness and fun at your meal. Honestly, this creative spin on a classic fish burger is one you won't forget.

How to prepare Fish Burger
To make the fish burgers, start by cleaning the cod fillets: rinse them under running water, pat them dry with a kitchen towel 1, and remove any bones with kitchen tweezers 2. Cut the fillets into pieces 3
and place them in the mixer 4, chop the cod until you obtain a smooth mixture 5. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and season with salt 6,
pepper 7, chopped parsley 8, thyme, and grated lemon zest 9,
mix everything well with a fork 10. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a cutting board and start creating the fish burger. Use a spoon to distribute the cod mixture inside a 2.75-inch diameter round cutter 11 and press it with the back of the spoon 12 so that the mixture takes the shape of the cutter.
Remove the cutter 13 and cut the parchment paper around the burgers, making it easier to lift them without risking breaking them 14. Now move on to the breading: beat the eggs with salt and pepper 15.
Start breading the fish burgers by first passing them in flour 16, then in the eggs 17, and finally in the breadcrumbs 18.
Place a pot with vegetable oil on the stove and heat the oil to 320°F-340°F, use a slotted spoon to immerse the fish burgers 19, cook for 4 minutes per side to create a golden crust on the burger (alternatively, you can bake the fish burgers in a static oven at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or in a convection oven at 320°F for about 20 minutes). Once cooked, drain the burgers 20 and place them on paper towels to absorb the excess oil 21. Your fish burgers are ready to be served hot!
