Healthy Tilapia Burger

Tilapia Burger
5 Servings
Prep Time: 10 Min
Cook Time: 15 Min
Ready In: 25 Min
INGREDIENTS
- 1.5 lb tilapia (not frozen)
- 4 egg whites
- 1 tsp seasoning* (herbs de provence, or other blend, see note below)
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1 1/2 cup fresh spinach
- 2 green onions (spring onions), trimmed
- 1/2 orange pepper (or other color of choice)
- 2 large celery stalks, trimmed
- 1/2 zucchini, trimmed
- 1/2 jalapeƱo, seeded
- 1/2 cup Bragg Nutritional Yeast
DIRECTIONS
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add tilapia and cook just until meat turns white (don't overcook, this only takes a couple minutes).
- Drain fish well.
- In food processor, combine all the veggies, until finely chopped.
- In a large bowl, add tilapia, veggies, egg whites, seasoning and nutritional yeast.
- Mix well.
- Form into "burger" patties.
- Heat a large skillet on medium high. Spray with cooking oil (I use coconut spray or olive oil spray).
- When skillet is hot, add burgers and cook about 5 minutes each side, until golden & crispy on outside. Tip... I use two spatulas to turn these over, one under and one on top then just flip.
- Serve with pico de gallo.
TIPS... this recipe is gluten free, dairy free, corn free, and nut free.
