Barramundi Fish Burgers with a Spinach and Pine Nut Salad

This is another Australian ingredient-swap, the original recipe called for 'pollock with spinach and pine nuts', but it is nearly impossible to find pollock here. I substituted Barramundi for the Pollock. For anyone that doesn't know, Pollock, is a fish in the cod family, and is found in the North-East Atlantic (not in the Indian Ocean!) Barramundi is a firm white fish that is readily available and found in Australian waters, otherwise known as 'The Asian Sea Bass'.
We decided to go to the beach at twilight and have some prawns and dip whilst watching the sun set prior to dinner. Cooking the barramundi fillets was quite easy on the barbeque and gave them a nice chargrilled flavour. I served them in white buns with homemade mayonnaise. It's amazing how my brothers will eat anything if it is sandwiched between 2 slices of bread!
The spinach salad was simple to make; I lightly fried some onion, added the pine nuts and raisins to the pan, and once they were cooled, tossed them with the spinach in a bowl.
