Hambúrguer de Peixe

Hambúrguer de Peixe is a delicious Brazilian fish burger that combines fresh fish fillets with vibrant herbs and spices, perfect for a light yet satisfying meal. This gluten-free dish is not only flavorful but also a healthy alternative to traditional meat burgers.

Ingredients

• Fresh white fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia) - 200 grams
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic (minced) - 1 clove
• Fresh parsley (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh cilantro (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Egg - 1 large
• Cornstarch - 3 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - for frying
• Gluten-free burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Tomato (sliced) - 1 medium
• Avocado (sliced) - 1 small

Steps

1. In a food processor, combine the fish fillets, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, egg, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well blended but still slightly chunky.
2. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. While the patties are cooking, toast the gluten-free burger buns in a separate pan or toaster until lightly golden.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing lettuce on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the fish patty, slices of tomato, and avocado. Top with the other half of the bun.
6. Serve immediately with your choice of side, such as a salad or sweet potato fries.
