These egg-free, nut-free cilantro-lime halibut burgers are fresh, flavorful, and perfect for warm-weather meals. Infused with garlic, lime zest, green onion, and a gentle kick of chili, they’re tender yet hold together beautifully—no eggs or nuts required. A handful of real-food ingredients comes together quickly in a food processor to form golden, herb-flecked patties that sear to perfection. Serve them in lettuce wraps, over greens, or alongside a tangy slaw for a protein-rich, naturally gluten-free meal that’s both satisfying and light.
