Add the scallion, egg, salt and cilantro and combine using your hands or a spoon.
Form four equally sized patties and put in a oven safe dish and bake for 15-20 minutes.
You can also pan fry the fish burgers. If you use the pan fry them in some olive oil for 5-6 minutes on each side.
For the coleslaw
Combine all the ingredients for the coleslaw in a bowl. Taste to check if more seasoning is needed. Set aside.
For the yogurt dip
Combine all ingredients for the yogurt dip in a small bowl and set aside.
For the burgers
