I love a good hamburger! But a burger doesn’t necessary mean meat and cheese. During summer I prefer a light, fresh and summer fish burger over a classic meat burger. This fish burger is really easy to make, feels fresh yet is very delicious and flavorful at the same time. This burger is made with nectarines, fresh herbs, yogurt and fish fillet, which makes it both light and fresh, using summer fruits and herbs, but still makes it satisfying and delicious. This fish burger literally tastes like summer to me! This burger is perfect to serve both for lunch, dinner, to make when you’re having friends or family over for dinner or to make for meal prep purpose.
A few tips:
- Use good quality fish since it’s the main star of the dish. Don’t use a cheap fish fillet that is watery and just falls apart. It really makes the biggest difference.
- Try to find tender but not over ripe nectarines for the salsa.
- I used mint, cilantro and chives for the salsa. But you can use any herbs you like and have at home.
- Don’t overcook the fish fillet. It should be tender, soft but still have some chewing resistance. If you grill or bake it for too long it will just become dry and boring, so cook it until it reaches 55-60 degrees Celsius (depending on how well cooked you prefer it)
