2. Mash the potatoes roughly and stir in the tartare sauce, egg and breadcrumbs. Fold the fish in to the potato mixture and season well. Divide into eight rounds and shape into burgers, coat in the semolina. Leave them to chill for 1 hour.

3. In a bowl mix together the salad cream, sweet corn nib lets and red pepper. Spoon into bowls. Heat the oil in a deep-sided frying pan and shallow fry the burgers for 10 minutes, turning once. Toast the pitta breads until they puff up. Split open and arrange the salad leaves, and tomatoes on them and top with a fish burger.

COOK'S TIP
Chilling the burgers will help the mixture firm up before you need to cook them.
The burgers can be cooked on the barbecue by using wire cooking rack to help the burgers retain their shape.
