Ingredients
- 400 grams skinless white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 60 grams whole-grain breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 green onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0 (as needed) olive oil spray

Directions
Step 1
Cut the fish fillets into smaller chunks and place them in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped fish, breadcrumbs, egg, green onion, parsley, lemon zest, yogurt, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly incorporated.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a burger patty, about 2cm thick.
Step 4
Place the patties on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to help them firm up.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil.
Step 6
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 63°C/145°F).
Step 7
Lightly toast the whole-grain burger buns, if desired.
Step 8
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf, a cooked fish patty, a tomato slice, and any optional toppings onto each bun. Serve immediately.
