Chả Cá Burger

Chả Cá Burger is a flavorful twist on the traditional Vietnamese dish featuring marinated fish patties served in a gluten-free bun. This dish combines fresh herbs and spices for a vibrant and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod) - 200 grams
• Rice flour - 50 grams
• Fresh dill - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Green onions - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon
• Fish sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons (for frying)
• Gluten-free burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Sliced tomatoes - 1 medium
• Sliced cucumbers - 1/2 medium
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons (optional)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the fish fillets, rice flour, dill, green onions, garlic, turmeric, fish sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the fish is evenly coated.
2. Using your hands, form the mixture into two patties, approximately 1.5 cm thick.
3. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the fish patties and cook for 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 if desired.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a cooked fish patty, sliced tomatoes, and cucumbers. Add mayonnaise if using, then top with the other half of the bun.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your Chả Cá Burger!
