Ingredients

Directions

Place tilapia in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until finely chopped.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add celery, green onion white parts, bell pepper, and garlic; cook until vegetables start to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add green onion green parts and parsley; cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Cool, about 10 minutes.

Combine vegetable mixture and tilapia. Season with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and black pepper; mix with your hands until well combined. Add bread crumbs and egg; mix until thoroughly combined. Shape into 12 burger-sized patties.

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil on a griddle over medium to medium-high heat. Cook patties, in batches as needed, until nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Cook's Notes:

You can use any color bell pepper and any herbs you like.

You can also cook these patties on an olive oil-greased baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 minutes on one side; coat patties with olive oil, flip, coat other side with olive oil, and cook 20 minutes more. Then, turn on the broiler and broil until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
