Fish Burger

Ever since my husband and I went on vacation to Nova Scotia this summer we have been craving the delicious array of seafood we consumed in mass amounts while there. One of our favorite meals was a simple fish burger. Now of course the fish burgers we ate while on vacation were anything but good for you, deep fried fish served on white buns with a side of fries, delicious but fattening! So we have been on the look out for a healthier version we could prepare at home. We happened to stumble upon a recipe in an old issue of a Canadian Living magazine I had lying around, and we were not disappointed. Of course it was not quite the same but it still tasted good and reminded us of our relaxing vacation. The funny thing is I never would have attempted to make this meal in the past. Before our vacation a fish burger would not have appealed to me at all.

Part of the recipe is a simply delicious spread that you serve with the burger. It also tastes amazing when you dip your fries in it. But I warn you, the spread uses mayonnaise as its base. It is light mayo but even the light stuff is a yellow light item! All the other ingredients are GI approved (as long as you choose a whole wheat bun).


SERVED WITH: Sweet potato fries baked in the oven.

COOKING TIPS: This recipe did not call for any sort of coating on the fish. I think the next time I would look up a breading of sorts from the GI Diet Cookbook and use it on the fish for a crispier burger. This recipe also uses catfish. Since I am not a fan of that particular fish I used haddock. It was rainy the night I made this so instead of grilling it I had to pan fry it.

RATING:7. With a few alterations it has the potential to be a 9.
