How to Prepare Grilled Tuna Burgers:

Start by finely chopping the tuna steaks.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped tuna, bread crumbs, green onions, egg, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper.
Mix everything well until the ingredients bind together.
Shape the mixture into two equal-sized burger patties.
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
Lightly brush both sides of your Grilled Tuna Burgers with olive oil.
Place the tuna patties on the grill.
Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness.
In the last 2 minutes of grilling, you can optionally place the whole grain buns on the grill to toast them a bit.

Tips:

To ensure your Grilled Tuna Burgers hold together, avoid overmixing.
Fresh is best! Opt for freshly caught tuna for optimal flavor and texture.
If you’re not a fan of the grill, these burgers can also be pan-seared.
For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes to the mix.

Serving Suggestions:

Place a grilled tuna burger on a toasted bun, and garnish with lettuce, sliced tomato, and avocado.
A light drizzle of a yogurt-based sauce or aioli can elevate the flavors.
Pair your Grilled Tuna Burgers with a fresh green salad or baked sweet potato fries for a wholesome meal.
Remember, while these are deliciously filling on their own, always feel free to personalize your Grilled Tuna Burgers with your favorite toppings!
