Thai Spicy Fish Burger

Fried fish with spicy herbs

Thai Spicy Fish Burger

The great summery weather that we are enjoying in London at the moment calls for strong flavours and quick and easy recipes. One of the hardest things about a free from diet is having to do without favourites. This recipe is a quick gluten free alternative to battered fish which many people enjoy at lunchtime with chips. This is a healthier version packed with flavour as it comes with a Thai inspired spicy herb dressing.

Ingredients:

1 coley fish filet (about 400g)

10g cornflour

40g gluten-free plain flour

Spicy herb dressing:

1 green chilli

1/2 handful basil leaves

1 handful coriander leaves

3 cloves garlic

2 tbsp palm sugar

3 tbsp fish sauce

4.5 tbsp lime juice

Grated lime peel

6 cherry tomatoes

De-skin the filet. Rub with salt and wash thoroughly. Dry the filet and cut into large bite-sized pieces.

Coley

Mix the flours together and season with pepper. Toss the fish pieces into the flour mix to coat. Deep fry for a couple of minutes and leave to cool down on some kitchen paper. 

Fried fish!

Wash the herbs and chilli. Finely chop the chilli and coarsely chop the herbs.

Coriander and Basil

Green chilli

Peel and slice the garlic.

Garlic

Wash the tomatoes, cut in half and add to the herb salad. Combine all the dressing ingredients together in a bowl and leave to stand for 30 minutes.

Spicy herb dressing

Place the fried fish in the gluten free rolls that have been warmed in the oven and pour over some of the dressing. You will have some dressing left over which can be kept and enjoyed later.
