Start by making the mayonnaise

Add in the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper and tarragon.
Then careful crack the egg in, be careful not to break the yolk.

For Cheats Tarragon Mayo

To make the burger

Mix the flour, salt and white pepper together in a shallow bowl.
Add each fillet of fish and give it a light dusting of the flour.
Place a large heavy based fry pan over a medium heat and add the olive oil. Once it is hot, add the fish and cook for 2 minutes on each side.
Turn the heat on the fry pan up to high and once it is smoking hot add the lettuce leaves and the extra vigin olive oil.
Allow the lettuce to char and spit. Once it has some colour and is glossy from the oil, remove from the pan and sit it on top of the fish.
Add the lemon to the pan, cut side down and turn off the heat. Levae the lemons to char whilst you assemble the burger.
Add a good layer of the mayo to the bottom of each bun. Add a fillet of fish and two charred lettuce leaves.
Remove the charred lemon wedges from the pan and serve immediately.

Notes

Any good flaky white fish will work, I like to use barramundi, but cod/haddock/pollack would be a good choice.
