- 6 ounces of flounder

- 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
- Kale as a topping for sandwich
- Cucumber
- Hamburger Buns
- Jalapeno (optional)
- 1/2 tablespoon of mayonnaise (you can use light mayo or vegan mayo)

Directions:
The quinoa should be cooked for 15 minutes and you can add salt, pepper and curry (add these latter ingredients to suit your taste). The flounder should be cooked for one minute on each side. You can use a cooking spray to lightly fry the flounder. Before frying the flounder, preheat the oven at 425 degrees.
The flounder, quinoa, chia seeds, garlic clove, kale and bread crumbs should be placed into a bowl. At this point, you can add more salt and pepper to suit your taste. These ingredients should be made into a patty and then placed into the oven for up to 10 minutes.
It’s important not to leave the patties for longer than 10 minutes because you don’t want to overcook them. While the patties are cooking, dice the cucumbers and jalapenos (if you are using them). Mix those ingredients with the mayonnaise and lemon juice and toast the hamburger buns.
You can take the patties out of the oven or off the grill and put them in the bun and add the cucumber mixture. This hearty and tasty meal is good for lunch or dinner.
