• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the fish fillets, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, cumin powder, coriander powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, beaten egg, and gluten-free breadcrumbs. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the mixture into two patties, ensuring they are compact and hold together.
3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the fish patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the gluten-free buns by toasting them lightly on a dry skillet or in a toaster.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the fish patty, a slice of tomato, and a dollop of tzatziki sauce or harissa. Top with the other half of the bun.
