This great fish burger is comforting, juicy and fresh and has a nice salty kick from the capers.

It’s interesting to notice that certain types of “junk food” or simple comfort food can suddenly become a new culinary trend. It happened to meatballs for instance; restaurant Meatballs is doing great business in cities like NYC and London and many other restaurants placed the traditional simple meatball as a posh dish on their menu. There’s a gourmet mayonnaise store in New York, there are several grilled cheese-restaurants and then there’s the burger. From very exclusive burger dishes with wagyu beef, truffles or foie gras to popular restaurants that claim to serve the “perfect basic burger”; burgers seem to please everyone. 
This is a great, slightly unusual burger made with fish. It’s comforting, juicy and fresh, has a nice salty kick from the capers and is pretty light (but very satisfying at the same time). The fish combines perfectly with the fresh lemon mayonnaise with spicy wasabi.
