- 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
- Zest of one lime
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 TBSP sesame seeds
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1-2 TBSP olive oil, for frying
- 6 Slider buns
Bang Bang Sauce.
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 TBSP Sweet Thai Chili Sauce
- 1 tsp Sriracha; add more to adjust the heat to your preference
- 1/2 tsp honey
Tangy slaw.
- 2 cups ready-to-eat shredded cabbage slaw *See notes
- Juice of one lime
- 1/4 tsp brown sugar
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
For the slaw.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, salt, and brown sugar. Add the slaw, and with your fingers, gently toss the slaw until fully coated; set aside.
For the fish patties.
- Put all of the ingredients for the fish patties into a large mixing bowl. With your hands, mix everything together until well blended. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Form the patties, one by one, with your hands until all of the mixture has been used up. Use about 1/3 cup of the mixture for each patty. Once all of your patties have been formed, put them in the fridge for 20-30 minutes so they can set.
For the Bang Bang Sauce.
- Put the mayo, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey into a small bowl and mix it with a fork until it's well blended. Give it a taste, and adjust the heat to your preference by adding more Sriracha until you're happy with it.
Bang Bang Fish Sliders.
- Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the patties into the pan—but don't overcrowd the pan! If you have to cook in batches, that's totally fine.
- Cook for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown, flipping the patties halfway through. Once the patties are golden and crisped, they're ready to go.
- Remove the patties from the skillet and set onto a paper towel to absorb extra oil.
- Once all of the patties are cooked, place each patty on the bottom bun of a slider. Top with slaw, drizzle with Bang Bang Sauce, and garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro. Close the slider up with the top bun and enjoy!
Notes
*Shredded cabbage slaw: You can make your own with shredded cabbage and carrots, but I've stopped doing that. I find that I never end up using all of the cabbage and it goes to waste. There's no shame in finding a good quality pre-packaged slaw to make things easier and cut back on food waste.
