Instructions

1 Create the burger dressing by mixing the mayonnaise, mustard, chopped capers,
finely chopped dill, chopped spring onion, salt, pepper, and sugar.
2 Set up the breading station: flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs. Add a pinch of
salt and pepper to each.
3 Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the fish and then roll the fillets through the
flour, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumbs.
4 Place a pan over medium-high heat and add 1 cup of oil to it.
5 When the oil is hot, add the fish and fry on one side until golden, and then
flip and cook on the other side until golden and cooked through. For a fish like
the basa pictured here, it only takes about 3 minutes per side. If you’re using
thicker fillets, you may have to increase the time and maybe lower the heat so
that the outside doesn’t burn while the inside cooks.
6 Remove the fillets to a cooling rack or plate with paper towels on it to absorb
the oil.
7 (Optional) – Toast the burgers (face down) in a dry pan over medium heat (about
a minute or so). You don’t need any butter or oil if using brioche buns.
8 Assemble the burgers: toasted bun, crispy fish, a couple tablespoons of the
burger dressing, a thick slice of tomato, and a couple of leaves of gem lettuce.
