Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
BASIL TARTAR SAUCE:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
2 teaspoons chopped capers
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel
Burgers:
1 pound boneless cod fillet (flounder -- catfish), cut into
1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 large egg white -- lightly beaten
1/4 cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 yellow or red tomato -- cut into 1/2-inch
slices
4 English muffins -- split and toasted
Fresh basil leaves -- for garnish
Potato chips (optional)

Heat grill.
Make Basil Tartar Sauce: Combine all ingredients in small bowl. Cover
and refrigerate. Makes 1/2 cup.
Process fish in food processor, pulsing just until shredded. Add
onion, lemon juice, salt and pepper; pulse briefly to blend. Transfer to
medium bowl; stir in egg white and bread crumbs. Shape into four
1/2-inch-thick patties.
Brush both sides of patties with oil. Grill over medium-hot heat 4 to
5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
Meanwhile, grill tomato slices 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place burgers
on bottoms of English muffins. Top each with 2 tablespoons tartar sauce,
tomatoes and basil leaves. Top with muffins. Serve with potato chips, if
desired.
Makes 4 servings.
A light, lemony burger served on a toasted English muffin with grilled
tomato--tastes as great as a fresh crab cake at a fraction of the cost.
