Preparation

  • In a bowl, put all the ingredients for the tartar sauce (mayonnaise, relish, capers, shallots, dill, lemon juice and Dijon mustard). Salt, pepper and mix well. Reserve in the fridge.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the prosciutto on the sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crispy. Set aside.
  • In a large plate with high edges, put the Panko breadcrumbs, Italian spices, salt and pepper, then mix.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs.
  • Dip a piece of fish in the beaten eggs and shake to remove excess. Dip in the breadcrumb mixture and press firmly to make as much stick as possible. Place on a plate and set aside. Repeat with the remaining fish.
  • In a saucepan, put about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of canola oil and heat over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes. The oil should reach about 275-300°F (135-150°C) to give a nice golden color without burning.
  • Place one or two pieces of fish in the oil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the fish is well browned. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon, place on a rack and let drain. Repeat with the remaining fish.
  • Assemble the burgers by spreading the tartar sauce inside the brioche buns. Place the fish pieces, add the cheese and crispy prosciutto, and close with the top bun.
