3. 3

   Cook burgers 3 minutes on each side for a pink center, 4 to 5 minutes on each side for fully cooked fish.

4. 4

   While burgers cook, combine in a bowl the cream cheese and the scallions and fold in sour cream and lemon juice.

5. 5

   Top the burgers with lettuce, tomato, onion and sauce on crusty, toasted buns.
