Fish Filet Burgers with Ginger Saffron Mayo

Tender Fish Burgers with Saffron Mayo

There is nothing like an easy dinner to throw on during a weeknight! Sometimes you just need to keep it simple—simple as ready-made fish patties, brioche buns, and our pickled ginger saffron mayo sauce. Both rich and fresh, our sauce matches the tender and juicy fish patties in the burger. The saffron adds an unexpected kick of flavor. We kept the burger toppings simple but feel free to switch to crispy onions instead of the fresh alternative as well as coleslaw instead of salad. The fish patties can be either deep-fried or baked. Serve with fries or potato wedges.
