Burger Ingredients

  • 2 cups mixed seafood preferably fresh fish, shrimp, and mussels
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs Japanese breadcrumbs for crisp texture
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon saffron threads infused in warm water

  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Aioli Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 medium burger buns lightly toasted
  • 4 leaves lettuce for crunch
  • 4 slices tomato ripe and juicy

Instructions
 

  • Mix the seafood, panko breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, saffron, olive oil, parsley, egg, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Form into 4 patties.
  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat (180 °C / 350 °F). Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and firm.
