These burgers are the best meal I’ve made for my family in weeks! This is a good thing since we’ve been getting sick of the same old fish recipes, and since we eat fish or vegetarian meals 5 times a week I am excited to find another fantastic recipe!
Fish & Garbanzo Bean Burgers
Cooking spray
1 lb fillet of tilapia
1/2 tsp salt
Pepper to taste
1 cup canned white beans
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
Whole grain buns or bread
Romaine lettuce
Tomato slices
Tartar sauce
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spritz baking pan with cooking spray and add fish. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and pepper to taste. Bake until flaky, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove fish from oven; leave oven on.
2. In a food processor, puree white beans, parsley, 1/4 tsp salt and bread crumbs. Process for 1 minute. (If you don’t have a processor, use a potato masher instead.) Place bean mixture into a large bowl with the egg; crumble in fish. Gently mix with your hands until it’s incorporated, then form into 8 small patties.
3. Coat an ovenproof skillet with cooking spray and put over medium heat. Add burgers. Cook until brown on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip cakes carefully and place in oven for 5 minutes.
4. Serve on mini-buns with lettuce, tomatoes and tartar sauce.

These look really tasty!! Quick question…does the recipe call for garbonzo beans as the title implies, or “white beans” (canellini?) as per the the ingredients list? I’m guessing both would work.
Thanks!

Sounds great, but… is it garbanzo or white beans?
Echoing the above comments – I’m assuming either would work at any rate, and it looks tasty!
oh sorry ladies! I used garbanzo!
Made these last night and served atop a salad instead of using buns. Great recipe!! Just posted about them here…http://whatscookinerndog.blogspot.com/2009/05/fish-and-chickpea-burgers-salad-with.html
