These Mahi Mahi burgers are a delightful twist on the classic fish cake, perfect for a light summer dinner or an elegant appetizer. The flaky white fish is combined with sweet crushed pineapple and toasted almonds to create a beautiful balance of textures and flavors. A touch of curry powder adds warmth, while mayonnaise and egg bind the mixture into tender patties that hold together beautifully. The result is a moist, aromatic patty that is crispy on the outside and succulent within. Serve them on toasted buns with a squeeze of lime or alongside a fresh green salad for a complete meal. They are easy to make, impressive to guests, and offer a taste of the tropics in every bite.

Directions
-
Ensure the Mahi Mahi is fully cooked and flaked into small, uniform pieces using your fingers or a fork.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked Mahi Mahi, chopped nuts, crushed pineapple, mayonnaise, curry powder, and beaten egg.
-
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
-
Divide the mixture into equal portions and form each portion into a patty, ensuring they are firm enough to hold their shape.
-
Heat a skillet with a little oil over medium heat, or prepare your broiler.
-
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side if frying, or 5-7 minutes per side if broiling, until golden brown and heated through.
Note
For a lighter version, you can bake the patties at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes.
Macadamia nuts provide a richer, buttery flavor compared to almonds.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
These burgers can be frozen before cooking for up to 1 month.
