Ingredients for this Tilapia Burger Recipe:

• 5 (4-ounce) tilapia fillets, cut into cubes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided (or as needed)
• 2 stalks celery, minced
• 2 bunches green onions, thinly sliced (separate green tops from white bottoms)
• 1 medium bell pepper, minced
• 5 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1 pinch onion powder (or to taste)
• 1 pinch garlic powder (or to taste)
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes (or to taste)
• 1 pinch ground black pepper (to taste)
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1 large egg

Directions:

1. Prep the Tilapia: In a food processor, pulse the tilapia fillets until finely chopped, but not pureed. Alternatively, use a knife to cut into small pieces if you don’t have a processor.
2. Sauté Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced celery, bell pepper, white parts of the green onions, and garlic. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, until softened. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped tilapia, sautéed vegetables, parsley, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, black pepper, panko bread crumbs, and egg. Stir until well combined.
4. Form Patties: With your hands, form the mixture into 5 evenly-sized patties, each about 1 inch thick.
5. Cook Patties: Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
6. Serve: Serve the Tilapia Burger Recipe patties on their own or with a side of fresh greens, a bun, or any toppings of your choice!
