• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Fish sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Coconut sugar - 1 teaspoon (or erythritol for keto)
• Ground black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves

• Red chili, sliced - 1 (optional)
• Lettuce leaves - 4 large
• Cucumber, thinly sliced - 1/2

• Avocado - 1 small, sliced

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, coconut sugar, black pepper, minced garlic, sliced shallots, grated ginger, and sliced chili. Mix well to create a marinade.
2. Add the fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated fish fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and caramelized.
4. Remove the fish from the pan and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Slice the fish into pieces suitable for a burger.
5. To assemble the burgers, place a piece of fish on a large lettuce leaf, top with sliced cucumber, avocado, and fresh cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over the top.
6. Wrap the lettuce leaf around the filling to create a burger and serve immediately.
