Fish Burger Recipe

From the Burger Haritası archive · 2020First published in Turkish in 2020, when I ran Burger Haritası, my “Burger Map.” Rewritten in English; the recipe is as it was.

Strictly speaking, “burger” means a sandwich built around a ground-meat patty, but burger-style sandwiches made with fish aren’t bad at all. This one is easy to make with sea bass, and you can swap in any fish you like.
