They were so easy to prepare and can be pan-fried from frozen. In fact, they don’t even recommend thawing it first. Simply heat up a pan with a light coating of oil and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side. I never knew frozen patties could be ready that quickly! The house smelled so good from the preparation of the patties alone. It even lured Warren into the kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups coleslaw blend*
  • 1 cup canned crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 Trident Seafoods® Wild Alaskan Pollock Burgers patties
  • 4 sesame buns, split
  • 4 slices of cheese of choice**
  • Condiments of choice
  • 1 avocado, pitted and thinly sliced

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the coleslaw, pineapple, jalapeño and lemon juice. Stir to combine and add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate while cooking the burgers.
  • Lightly oil a skillet or saute pan. Cook the Trident Seafoods® Wild Alaskan Pollock patties over medium heat, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the patties to a clean plate.
  • Toast the buns, cut sides down in the empty skillet for about 30 seconds. Transfer the buns to a clean plate and return the patties to the pan. Top each patty with a slice of cheese, cover with a lid and allow the cheese to melt for about 20 seconds.
  • Assemble the burger: Spread the condiment of choice on the bottom bun, add the patty, top with 3-4 slices of avocado, top with the pineapple and jalapeño slaw, and close with the top bun. Serve immediately.

Notes

*I used a pre-shredded, pre-packaged blend of cabbage and carrots that can be found in the pre-packaged salads section.
**I’ve used Monterey jack, pepper jack, and cheddar. Use your favorite!
