Description

This Blackened Fish Burger with Sriracha Mayo offers the perfect combination of spice, crunch, and freshness. The sea bass is rubbed with smoky spices and roasted to perfection, while the purple cabbage adds a vibrant crunch. The creamy sriracha mayo ties it all together with just the right amount of heat.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Rub:
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
1/2 teaspoon cumin
For the Fish Burger:
46 ounces sea bass filet (or any firm white fish)
1/23/4 cup chopped purple cabbage
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil (or extra virgin olive oil)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup arugula
1 brioche bun (or any hamburger bun of choice)
For the Sriracha Mayo:
3 tablespoons mayo
1/2 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)


Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and position the rack in the middle of the oven.
In a small bowl, mix all of the rub ingredients: cayenne pepper, black pepper, smoked paprika, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, ground oregano, and cumin.
Pat the sea bass filet dry with a paper towel, leaving the skin on. Sprinkle about 1-2 teaspoons of the rub on the top of the filet. Save the remaining rub for future use.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the chopped purple cabbage, grapeseed oil, and kosher salt. Toss until evenly coated.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayo and sriracha. Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your desired level of spiciness.
Place the sea bass, skin-side down, on a foil-lined baking sheet. Arrange the cabbage to one side of the baking sheet if your fish is thin (cook both simultaneously). For thicker fish, bake the cabbage for the final 4-6 minutes of cooking.
Bake the fish for 4-6 minutes per 1/2 inch thickness. The cabbage will roast in about 4-6 minutes as well.
While the fish and cabbage are baking, butter your brioche bun and toast it on the bottom oven rack, butter-side down, for about 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.
Once everything is done baking, remove the fish, cabbage, and bun from the oven. Using a spatula, lift the fish off its skin (which should stick to the foil).
To assemble, spread a generous amount of sriracha mayo on the bottom bun. Add a layer of roasted cabbage, then place the fish filet on top. Add the arugula, and finish with the top bun.
