In a small bowl, combine the mayo, ½ the chopped dill, seasoning, and a splash of water. Set aside. In a bowl, whisk 1 egg with a splash of water. In another bowl, combine the flour and seasoning.
GOLDEN RINGS
Place a pot or pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. Coat the onion rings in the egg mixture first, and then in the seasoned flour. When the oil is hot, carefully lower the floured onion slices into the oil. Fry until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting halfway). Drain on paper towel.
BUTTER UP THE BUN
Halve the burger bun, and spread butter (optional) or oil over the cut-side. Place a pan over medium heat. When hot, toast the bun cut-side down until golden, 1-2 minutes.
FRY, FLIP & FRY THE FISH
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the yellowtail dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the fish until golden, 3-4 minutes per side. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and season.
ADD THE FRESHNESS
In a salad bowl, combine ½ the shredded leaves, the drained peppers, the remaining dill, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
