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.
