Ingredients

400g Cod Fillet 100g breadcrumbs 2tbsp finely chopped capers 2 spring onions, finely chopped 25g finely chopped Salt and pepper to season  1tbsp fennel seeds 1tbsp coriander seeds Vegetable oil, for brushing the burgers 4 hamburger buns Iceberg lettuce, for serving Tzaziki ingredients: 100g 0% Greek yogurt 25g chopped parsley 25g chopped mint 25g chopped coriander 2 cloves garlic Juice of 1 lime 1 small red chilli finely chopped Salt to season

Method

Into a food processor add the cod, breadcrumbs, capers, spring onion, parsley, salt, pepper and spices and pulse until just combined

Using slightly damp hands shape the mixture into six burger patties. Refrigerate the patties until they are cold and have firmed up. Overnight would be ideal but one hour would be fine

To make the tzaziki add all of the ingredients to a mini chopper and pulse until they are fully combined. Season the mixture with lime and salt to taste. Keep in the fridge until you are ready to eat itPreheat a grill pan to medium-high, until it starts to get smoky. Brush the grill and the burgers with oil and cook for roughly three minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and leave them to rest whilst you toast the burger buns on the same pan

Serve the burgers on buns topped with the tzaziki, some of the crispy lettuce and a wedge of lemon on the side.
