Seafood Burgers
Seafood Burgers are loaded with a wonderful combination of fish, shrimp, and scallops. Serve on a roll with a creamy homemade sauce that perfectly complements the flavors of fresh seafood.
Ingredients
For the Seafood Burgers
1 pound any white fish such as cod, haddock, halibut, flounder, red snapper, or tilapia
1 pound uncooked and deveined shrimp of any size, peeled
1 pound scallops (look for frozen broken scallop pieces - they are typically very inexpensive compared to whole scallops)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning such as Old Bay or Seafood Magic
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
2 cups panko breadcrumbs, divided
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
8 crusty burger/sandwich rolls
Leafy green lettuce, to serve on the burger rolls
10 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons of vegetable or any neutral oil, divided
For the Sauce
2 tablespoons finely minced shallots
2 tablespoons finely minced celery
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
- Chop the white fish, scallops and peeled and deveined shrimp to pea size. You could pulse in a food processor, but it may be difficult to control the outcome. We prefer chopping by hand.
- Place the chopped fish into a large bowl along with the eggs, seafood seasoning, scallions, seasoned breadcrumbs, ½ cup of the panko breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, sea salt and white pepper.
- Divide the seafood mixture into eight even portions about 5 ½ to 6 ounces each.
- Pour the remaining 1 ½ cups of panko onto a platter or pan.
- Line a tray that will fit into your refrigerator with parchment.
- Form each seafood portion into a ball then form into a disc ¾ inch thick. Place each one onto the tray with the panko and coat both sides and move to the parchment covered tray. Repeat for all eight burgers, pressing any excess panko back onto the burgers.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer to set up.
- Split the rolls and toast in a large skillet in two tablespoons of butter.
- Prepare the leafy lettuce.
- Make the sauce by whisking all sauce ingredients.
- When ready to cook, heat the skillet over medium-low heat and add four tablespoons of butter and one tablespoon of oil.
- Once melted, gently place four burgers into the pan and cook for five minutes per side or until the center has reached 140 degrees F when poked with a probe thermometer and the outside is golden. Repeat for remaining four burgers with the remaining butter and oil. Or see chef tips for freezing uncooked burgers for another meal.
- Once cooked, assemble leafy lettuce, seafood burger and sauce onto each roll and serve immediately.
