Fish Burgers

I have made these a few time and it is a great twist on fish and works well with the fish we catch here in the midwest. White fillets such as crappies, sunnies, walleyes or bass work great in this way.

Ingredients:
Fish-about a pound
Diced green onions-quarter cup appr.
1 egg
bread crumbs( Panko bread crumbs work great)

Directions

Chop up your fish fillets into pretty small pieces. Place in a bowl and add the egg and the chopped onion. Season with salt and pepper or your favorites seasoning blend such as lawry's, lemon pepper, etc. Add enough bread crumbs to make a stable mixture. Then place a fair amount of bread crumbs in a separate bowl. Take and make patties out of the fish mixture and coat with dry bread crumbs. Heat pan with olive oil and panfry until golden brown on each side. Serve on a bun of your choice with your favorite burger toppings.
