Instructions
Start by making the mayonnaise
- Pour the oil into a jug that will fit the heat of your stick blender.
- Add in the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper and tarragon.
- Then careful crack the egg in, be careful not to break the yolk.
- Place the head of the stick blender over the yolk and then turn the speed to high and slowly bring the blender up through the oil.
- You should have a glossy tarragon mayonnaise within seconds.
For Cheats Tarragon Mayo
- Mix the tarragon together with the mayo and add a spritz of lemon juice
To make the burger
- Mix the flour, salt and white pepper together in a shallow bowl.
- Add each fillet of fish and give it a light dusting of the flour.
- Place a large heavy based fry pan over a medium heat and add the olive oil. Once it is hot, add the fish and cook for 2 minutes on each side.
- Turn the heat on the fry pan up to high and once it is smoking hot add the lettuce leaves and the extra vigin olive oil.
- Allow the lettuce to char and spit. Once it has some colour and is glossy from the oil, remove from the pan and sit it on top of the fish.
- Add the lemon to the pan, cut side down and turn off the heat. Levae the lemons to char whilst you assemble the burger.
- Add a good layer of the mayo to the bottom of each bun. Add a fillet of fish and two charred lettuce leaves.
- Remove the charred lemon wedges from the pan and serve immediately.
Notes
- Any good flaky white fish will work, I like to use barramundi, but cod/haddock/pollack would be a good choice.
