 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         BASIL TARTAR SAUCE:
      1/2  cup           mayonnaise
    1      tablespoon    finely chopped onion
    1      tablespoon    chopped fresh basil
    2      teaspoons     chopped capers
      1/4  teaspoon      grated lemon peel
                         Burgers:
    1      pound         boneless cod fillet (flounder -- catfish), cut into
                         1-inch pieces
    2      tablespoons   finely chopped onion
    1      tablespoon    fresh lemon juice
      1/2  teaspoon      salt
      1/8  teaspoon      freshly ground pepper
    1      large         egg white -- lightly beaten
      1/4  cup           Italian-style dry bread crumbs
    2      teaspoons     vegetable oil
    1                    yellow or red tomato -- cut into 1/2-inch
                         slices
    4                    English muffins -- split and toasted
                         Fresh basil leaves -- for garnish
                         Potato chips (optional)
 
 Heat grill.
 Make Basil Tartar Sauce: Combine all ingredients in small bowl. Cover
 and refrigerate. Makes 1/2 cup.
 Process fish in food processor, pulsing just until shredded. Add
 onion, lemon juice, salt and pepper; pulse briefly to blend. Transfer to
 medium bowl; stir in egg white and bread crumbs. Shape into four
 1/2-inch-thick patties.
 Brush both sides of patties with oil. Grill over medium-hot heat 4 to
 5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
 Meanwhile, grill tomato slices 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place burgers
 on bottoms of English muffins. Top each with 2 tablespoons tartar sauce,
 tomatoes and basil leaves. Top with muffins. Serve with potato chips, if
 desired. 
 Makes 4 servings.
 A light, lemony burger served on a toasted English muffin with grilled
 tomato--tastes as great as a fresh crab cake at a fraction of the cost.
