Shrimp And Cod Burgers Recipes

GRILLED SEAFOOD BURGERS WITH OLD BAY MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium and oil the grates.
• In a food processor, pulse the shrimp a few times just until finely chopped and a coarse paste forms. Transfer to a large bowl and add the cod, 1/4 cup of the scallions, the salt and pepper, and mix until well blended. (Hands work best.) Moisten your hands with water, then form the mixture into 4 (½-inch-thick) patties. Coat patties lightly with the oil.
• Grill the burgers until lightly charred and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (Resist the temptation to prod or flip the burgers unnecessarily. They will release easily once they are cooked on each side.)
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Old Bay and the remaining 2 tablespoons scallions; mix well.
• Smear some of the Old Bay mayonnaise on the buns. Top each bottom bun with a burger and squeeze lemon on top. Top with some of the lettuce and pickles, close the burgers and enjoy.

SHRIMP AND COD BURGERS

Steps:

• Process half of the shrimp in a food processor until a paste forms. Add the cod, remaining shrimp, and the bread crumbs, capers, scallions, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pulse until just combined (do not overprocess).
• Using dampened hands, shape into 4 patties. Refrigerate, covered, until cold and firm, about 1 1/2 hours (or overnight).
• Preheat the grill to medium-high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds). Brush the grill and the burgers with oil. Grill, flipping once, until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Toast the buns on the grill during the last minute of cooking, if desired. Serve the burgers on the buns; top with lettuce. Serve with tartar sauce, if desired, and the lemon wedges.
• Tarragon Tartar Sauce
• Stir together the mayonnaise, relish, lemon juice, capers, tarragon, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. The sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week.

HAKE BURGERS

Steps:

• Cut fish into 1/4-inch pieces, then coarsely chop until it holds together. Mix with eggs, 1/3 cup mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, capers, chives, 1 teaspoon salt, and cayenne. Form into 8 patties, each about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high. Cook 4 burgers, flipping once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining oil and burgers.
• Combine remaining 1/2 cup mayonnaise and mustard. Brush split sides of buns with oil; lightly toast in skillet. Sandwich burgers in buns with mayonnaise mixture, red onions, and watercress.

SHRIMP BURGERS WITH OLD BAY MAYO

Steps:

• For the shrimp burgers: Coarsely chop half of the shrimp. Put the remaining shrimp in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Combine both shrimp in a large bowl with the breadcrumbs, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, pepper, scallions and egg and mix. Refrigerate for 10 minutes, and then form into 4 patties. Refrigerate 10 more minutes.
• Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers, about 3 minutes per side.
• For the Old Bay mayo: Combine the mayonnaise and Old Bay to taste in a small bowl.
• To serve, spread the buns with the mayo and place the burgers on the buns. Top the burgers with the avocado slices, lettuce leaves and tomato slices.
