Method

  1. Chop the crabsticks1 finely with a knife or fork.

  2. Mix them with cream2 cheese, 1 egg, breadcrumbs, chopped dill5, and salt until combined.

  3. Shape into a firm patty and chill for 10 minutes.

  4. Pan-fry the patty in oil for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.

  5. Split the bun and toast the cut sides on a dry skillet for 1 minute.

  6. Mix mayonnaise, mustard, and finely chopped pickles11 into a spread.

  7. Assemble the burger6 with the sauce, lettuce, patty, and tomato8.

Tips

Why it works
Chill the patty for 10 minutes so it doesn't fall apart when frying. If you skip this, the mixture will be soft and won't hold its shape.
Substitutions
Instead of crab sticks, use canned tuna (140 g, drained), but cut the breadcrumbs to 20 g. Replace the pickles with fresh cucumber (25 g, unsalted).
Common mistakes
If the patty falls apart when frying, it wasn't shaped firmly enough or there weren't enough breadcrumbs. Make sure the mixture is even and not sticky.
Storing and reheating
Keep in the fridge for 1 day. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds with the plate covered. It's better to toast the buns fresh.
Serve with
Serve with fries cooked in the same oil, or with canned corn salad. Works well for a family dinner.
