1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped or 1 teaspoon dry dill
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
salt, to taste
Directions
1
Wash hands well with soap and warm water.
2
In a small bowl, stir together all sauce ingredients well. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

Set aside for 5 minutes to allow mixture to come together.
5
Mix gently until well combined. Shape into 8 patties. If mixture is still quite wet, squeeze excess water out when shaping.

Coat patties in remainder of cracker or cornflake crumbs.
7
Preheat a large skillet with a small amount of oil. Cook on each side for 3-5 minutes until golden browned and cooked through.
