The Crispy Halibut Burger Recipes

CRISPY FRIED FISH BURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Get your dredging station ready: Sift flour onto a plate and spread out. To another plate, add panko, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, onion powder, paprika, thyme, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder, whisking to combine. In a bowl, whisk egg. Set aside.
• Cut cod into two equal pieces and pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
• Dredge each piece of cod in flour, coating all around, shaking off excess.
• Then, dip cod into whisked egg, shaking off excess
• Finally, dredge cod in panko bread crumbs, coating all around, pressing to adhere. You can place on a plate while you are getting your oil ready.
• Place the canola or vegetable oil into a large heavy-duty pot with high/tall sides suitable for frying (I used a high sided cast-iron pot).Note: Use enough oil to come up to 2 inches up the side of the pot. To monitor your oil temperature, a candy and deep-fry thermometer clipped to the side of the pot (with the tip submerged in the oil) is a great tool to use.
• Heat the pot of oil over medium heat. You want an oil temperature of about 360 degrees Fahrenheit.Note: Oil may drop in temperature when fish is placed in there, but try to keep it around that temperature.
• Gently lower each piece of cod into the oil, away from you, and cook for 3 minutes. Carefully turn the cod pieces and continue to cook for another 3 minutes or until cod is cooked through, is opaque, and flakes easily with a fork (insert the tines of a fork into the thickest part of the fish at an angle and twist gently; it should flake easily). Note: Depending on the thickness of the cod pieces, you may have to cook longer.
• When cooked, carefully remove cod from the oil (a spider strainer works great for removing the cooked cod).Optional: Place cod on a cooling rack over a baking sheet to drain of any excess grease for a minute or two, if necessary (though, mine weren't greasy).
• Sprinkle cod with additional salt (if desired).
• Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until well incorporated.
• Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, stirring to combine.
• Assemble fish burgers: toast buns (if you like), spread the cut side of each bun with tartar sauce, place piece of fish on bottom buns, top with coleslaw (and any of the other garnish options (if you like), and place top buns over top (with tartar sauce on the inside) to form your fish burgers. Serve and enjoy!

CRISPY BURGERS

Steps:

• Lightly mix together the sirloin, brisket, chuck, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper and the garlic powder in large bowl with a fork until just combined.
• Divide the mixture into 6 equal mounds. Gently press each meat mound between two sheets of wax paper to make a thin patty, each about 4 inches wide and a little under 1/2 inch thick. (I used a tortilla press for this. If you don't have one, use a rolling pin.) Refrigerate until ready to use. The patties can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
• Heat a cast-iron griddle or cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot and smoking. Place each patty on the griddle and cook, undisturbed, until a deeply caramelized crust forms, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip each patty and top with a slice of cheese. Continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer until the cheese is melted and the desired doneness is reached.
• Meanwhile, brush the inside of each bun with melted butter and place on the griddle until toasted, about 1 minute. Place each burger patty on a bottom-bun half. Dress each bun top with ketchup, mustard, onion and pickles and flip on the the burgers. Serve immediately.

BAKED HALIBUT WITH CRISPY PANKO

Steps:

• Pour enough chicken stock into an oven-proof skillet to cover bottom; arrange halibut fillets in skillet. Drizzle lemon juice over fillets; season with salt and pepper. Spread a think layer of Dijon mustard over each fillet; press bread crumb mixture over mustard layer.
• Place skillet in the preheated oven and cook until fillets flake easily with a fork and topping is browned, about 20 minutes.

HALIBUT WITH LEMON-BUTTER AND CRISPY SHALLOTS

Steps:

• For the lemon butter: Whisk together the lemon juice, salt, pepper, lemon zest and butter in a deep medium bowl until well blended (mixture will be like a thick sauce). Set aside until ready to use.
• For the halibut and crispy shallots: Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper and garlic in an 8-by-8-by-2-inch glass dish. Whisk the marinade to blend. Add the halibut and turn several times to coat evenly. Let stand 15 to 20 minutes.
• Combine the grapeseed oil and shallots in a medium heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until the oil heats up and the shallots turn golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the shallots with a slotted spoon to several layers of paper towels to drain and crisp. Sprinkle with salt and pepper just before using.
• Heat a large dry nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lift the halibut from the marinade, letting the excess drain off. Add the halibut to the hot skillet and sear 3 minutes. Turn the fish over using a flexible metal spatula. Sear until still slightly pink in the center, about 3 minutes longer, depending on thickness. Transfer the halibut to plates. Top with a generous dollop of lemon-butter and pile the shallots alongside or scatter around the fish. Garnish with the lemon wedges and serve.
