Description

Delicate cod fillet burgers served in homemade buns with a refreshing yogurt sauce with dill and lemon. The dish combines Polish ingredients (cod, dill, greenhouse cucumber) with a fast-casual format, creating a light snack perfect for spring gatherings. The patties are juicy thanks to breadcrumbs and egg, have a golden crust after frying, and the yogurt sauce brings freshness and acidity; optionally, you can add mayonnaise for creaminess or capers for a distinct salty note. Serve with young lettuce and fresh cucumber — the visual effect is a contrast of the golden patty crust, the green of the dill, and the white of the sauce, while the taste balances the marine note of the fish, the acidity of the lemon, and the creaminess of the yogurt.

Preparation steps

Preparing the filling

1

Check the cod fillets for bones and remove them with tweezers. If the fillet is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator beforehand and pat it dry with a paper towel. Cut the fillet into pieces about 2-3 cm on each side, which will make grinding easier.

Ingredients: Cod fillet
Use a cutting board and a sharp knife; if you have one, use a mixer/food processor for quick chopping. Control the consistency — do not blend into a paste, leave small pieces for texture.
2

Peel the onion and chop it into small cubes. Heat 15 g of rapeseed oil (1 tablespoon) in a pan over medium heat, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent and soft, but not browned. Set aside to cool.

Ingredients: Onion, Rapeseed oil
Use a pan with a diameter of 24-26 cm. The onion should be soft and translucent — if it starts to brown, reduce the heat. A wooden spatula is best for frying.
3

In a food processor with a pulse knife or in a large bowl, chop the pieces of cod into a fine but still chunky mixture. If using a processor, pulse briefly, checking the consistency every few seconds — it should be compact, not mushy. Transfer to a bowl.

Ingredients: Cod fillet
If you don't have a food processor, finely chop with a knife — it will take longer, but you'll have better control over the texture. You can also gently grind the mixture through a coarse sieve in a meat grinder.
4

To the chopped fish, add the cooled onion, egg, breadcrumbs, 20 g of flour (from the prepared 40 g — leave the other part for coating), finely chopped dill (about 15 g from the bunch), grated zest of half a lemon, and 5 g of lemon juice. Season with salt (about 3 g) and pepper (1-2 pinches). Mix with a wooden spoon or by hand until the ingredients are combined. The mixture should be firm and slightly sticky; if it is too wet, add more breadcrumbs in 10 g increments until you achieve a consistency that allows you to form patties.

Ingredients: Cod fillet, Onion, Breadcrumbs, Wheat flour, Dill, Lemon, Salt, Black pepper
Use a large bowl and a wooden spoon or disposable gloves for mixing. Do not mix further in a food processor — it will crush the structure and turn it into a paste.

Shaping and frying

5

Divide the mixture into four equal portions (about 100 g each). Wet your hands with water, take a portion and shape it into a ball, then flatten it into a patty about 1.5 cm thick — the center should be slightly thinner than the edges to ensure even frying. Coat each patty in the remaining flour on both sides, shaking off the excess.

Ingredients: Wheat flour, Breadcrumbs, Cod fillet
Use a kitchen scale for evenly sized patties; wetting your hands prevents sticking. If the mixture crumbles, add 5-10 g of breadcrumbs at a time.
6

Heat a pan over medium-high heat, pour in the remaining canola oil (about 15 g). Once heated (a drop of water should sizzle), place the fillets in the pan and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and the fish's firm structure becomes opaque. At the end of frying, check one fillet — the inside should be white and soft, not raw.

Ingredients: Rapeseed oil, Wheat flour, Cod fillet
The best is a non-stick or cast iron skillet; use a spatula to flip. Do not move the cutlets immediately after placing them — let a crust form.

Yogurt sauce

7

In a bowl, place natural yogurt, add finely chopped dill (the rest of the bunch), pressed garlic (10 g), 10 g of lemon juice, 5 g of lemon zest (grated), and if you like, 50 g of mayonnaise (optional) for creaminess. Mix thoroughly with a fork and season with 1-2 g of salt and 1 pinch of pepper. Set aside in the fridge for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Ingredients: Natural yogurt, Dill, Garlic, Lemon, Mayonnaise
Use a fine grater for the lemon zest and a garlic press. The sauce should be smooth and slightly runny — if it's too thick, add 5-10 g of lemon juice or yogurt.

Preparation of toppings

8

Slice the cucumber into thin rounds (about 2-3 mm). Cut the rolls in half and toast them on a dry skillet or in the oven at a basic temperature of 180°C for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly crispy. Tear the lettuce by hand.

Ingredients: Field cucumber, Kaiser roll
Use a sharp knife to slice the cucumber thinly. Toasting the rolls will give them structure and prevent them from getting soggy from the sauce.

Assembling the burgers

9

Spread a tablespoon of yogurt sauce on the bottom of each bun, place a few lettuce leaves, then the warm fish patty, slices of cucumber, and a few capers (optional). Add extra dill on top and close with the bun. Serve immediately while the patties are still warm.

Ingredients: Kaiser roll, Natural yogurt, Field cucumber, Capers
Use a teaspoon to evenly apply the sauce. Additionally, you can add capers for character — if you prefer a milder flavor, omit them.

Serving and storage

10

Serve the burgers immediately with the remaining sauce in a bowl. The leftover patties can be chilled and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; before serving, heat them in a skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side or in the oven for 5-7 minutes at 180°C.

Ingredients: Cod fillet, Natural yogurt
Do not use a microwave for reheating — the fish will become rubbery. It is best served freshly fried.

Fun Fact

💡

In Poland, fish dishes are traditionally eaten mainly in winter (Christmas Eve) and by the sea; the combination of cod fillet with dill is a classic duo, here presented in the form of a burger — an inspiration from fusion cuisine that combines local flavors with a global format.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the burgers immediately to keep the patties crispy. Complement the plate with a fresh salad of young leaves, lemon slices, and sweet potato fries or pearl barley with lemon dressing as an alternative side.

🥡 Storage

Store the patties and sauce separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To reheat, use a skillet or oven; keep the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Do not freeze yogurt-based sauce.
