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 with some seasoning.
GOLDEN RINGS
Place a pot or pan over a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. Coat the onion slices in the egg mixture, then toss in the bowl of seasoned flour. When the oil is hot, carefully lower the floured onion slices into the hot oil. Fry for 2-4 minutes or until golden brown, shifting halfway. Drain on paper towel.
BUTTER UP THE BUN
Halve the burger bun and spread butter over the cut-side or brush with oil. Place a pan over medium heat. When hot, place the halved bun, cut-side down, in the pan and toast for 1-2 minutes until crisp.
FRY, FLIP & FRY THE FISH
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the kingklip dry with paper towel and season. When hot, fry the kingklip for 4-6 minutes until golden, flipping halfway. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter or a drizzle of oil.
ADD THE FRESHNESS
In a salad bowl, combine ½ the shredded leaves, the radish rounds, the remaining dill, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
