How to make Fish Burgers:

To begin, place the fish fillets and flour into an empty plastic bread bag and shake until coated. Crack in the egg and shake again. Place panko crumbs, sesame seeds, salt and pepper in a plate then coat each piece of fish in the crumb mixture. Heat oil and butter in a large frying pan, then add the fish and cook on both sides until golden and fish is cooked through.

To make the tartare sauce, mix together the mayonnaise, capers, gherkins, spring onion and lemon juice. Cut buns in half and grill or toast until warm. Spread tartare sauce on the base of the bun and top with lettuce, tomato slices, crispy fish, a squeeze of lemon and then the top of the bun.
