Ingredients

  • 4 frozen Canadian fish burger patties
  • 4 brioche burger buns, split
  • 1 large lime
  • 2 cups (500 mL) coleslaw mix
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) canola or vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) light or regular mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) minced jalapeño
  • 1 small clove garlic, grated or pressed
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
  • Salt and pepper
  1. Zest lime to make ½ tsp (2 mL); cut in half and squeeze out juice to make 2 tbsp. In a bowl, toss together coleslaw mix, oil, mustard, salt, pepper and lime juice until well mixed; let stand 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine mayo, jalapeño, garlic and cilantro.

  2. On a pre-heated grill, cook burgers according to package directions, adding buns to grill to toast in the last 1 minute of cooking.

  3. Fill buns with fish burgers, mayo mixture and slaw.

Tip: You can add any other burger toppings you love, such as sliced dill pickles, lettuce, red onion, and tomato.

Tip: You can also use these toppings as a hack to turn a frozen crab cake into a signature burger. Just cook them according to package directions and top as shown in the recipe. If they’re small, use slider buns and serve as an appetizer, or serve 2 or 3 as a portion for a more substantial serving.
