Directions

  1. Place tilapia in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add white parts of the green onions, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the hot oil and saute until they start to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add green parts of the green onions and parsley, saute, 2 to 3 minutes more. Let cool, about 10 minutes.

  3. Combine the veggie mixture with the fish. Add salt, onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and black pepper, mix with your hands until well combined. Mix in bread crumbs and egg until thoroughly combined. Shape into burger-sized patties.

  4. Heat remaining olive oil on a griddle over medium to medium-high heat. Cook patties in the hot oil, working in batches as needed, until nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes on each side.

Recipe Yield

12 patties

Recipe Note

These are easy to make tilapia burger patties. Can double the batch to make ahead and freeze. You can serve them as open-faced fish burgers, or a protein main with a fresh, crispy tossed salad.
