GRILLED TUNA BURGERS WITH SPICY MAYO

Steps:

• Add the sesame oil, soy sauce, red pepper flakes and egg to a large mixing bowl. Mix well, then fold in the tuna, red bell pepper and scallions. Mix well to coat everything evenly. Sprinkle with salt and fold in the panko breadcrumbs to lightly bind everything. Carefully form the mixture into 4 even-size patties and set on a platter. Refrigerate so the patties firm up and hold their shape when cooked, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Coat the pan with a little vegetable oil and cook the tuna patties 3 minutes per side (when done, the patties will be browned on the outside and medium-rare in the center).
• Grill the hamburger buns over high heat until well charred and crispy.
• Serve the tuna burgers slathered with the Spicy Sriracha Mayo, lettuce leaves and tomato slices on the toasted, seeded hamburger buns, paired with the dry Riesling.
• Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Sriracha, sesame oil, lemon juice, honey and scallions in a large mixing bowl. Stir well to combine, season with salt and pepper and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

TUNA BURGERS WITH TAPENADE AIOLI

Steps:

• Combine the tuna, Dijon, chipotle, oil, honey and green onion in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Shape the chopped tuna firmly into 8 round uniform patties about 1 1/2 inches thick. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. (The burgers must be very cold to hold their shape when cooking.)
• Grill burgers for 3 minutes on each side for medium doneness.
• For the tapenade aioli:
• Combine olives, capers, garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. Add the mayonnaise and process until smooth, season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
• Serve burgers with ciabatta rolls and aioli. Garnish with watercress.

TUNA BURGERS

Steps:

• Drain the tuna and flake it into small pieces with a fork, smashing up any big chunks. In a medium bowl, mix it with green onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, kosher salt, panko, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and eggs.
• Form the dough into 5 small or 6 large patties. Refrigerate the patties for 15 minutes to firm up the texture (or up to 24 hours). If desired, use the time to make the aioli, remoulade or tartar sauce.
• When ready to cook, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the burgers and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes until lightly browned, then gently flip them with a spatula and cook about 3 to 4 minutes more until lightly browned on the other side.
• Serve on a bun with tomato, red onion, lettuce, and aioli, remoulade or tartar sauce. Leftovers save well refrigerated for 2 to 3 days.

SAVORY TUNA BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the tuna, mayonnaise, bread crumbs, parsley, mustard, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well and shape the mixture into four equal patties, each about 1-inch thick.
• If you're stopping here:
• Wrap the burgers tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months. Thaw completely in the refrigerator or microwave for 3 to 4 minutes on LOW before cooking.
• When you're ready to eat:
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Unwrap the burgers and cook until golden brown and heated through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve the burgers on buns with sliced tomato and pickles.

ALBACORE TUNA BURGERS

Steps:

• Finely chop the tuna with a chef's knife. Place tuna in a bowl and mix in lemon, onion, parsley, relish, bread crumbs and eggs until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Shape tuna mixture into 6 round patties. Brush both sides of tuna burgers with vegetable oil and season again with salt and pepper. Cook the tuna burgers in a non stick skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes each side until they are cooked through.
• Serve on hamburger buns with whatever you fancy. Some suggestions are cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, ketchup and barbecue sauce.

CRUNCHY TUNA BURGER

Steps:

• Add the tuna in a food processor and pulse to grind. Put the tuna in bowl and stir in the chives, tamari, garlic, and black pepper, to taste. Add the panko crumbs and sesame seeds to a shallow dish. Form the tuna mixture into 8 small patties and roll in the bread crumbs.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil. Put the burgers in the pan and cook until lightly golden brown on the outside and pink in the middle, about 2 minutes per side.
• Put the burgers on the bun bottoms. Top with lettuce and pickled ginger, then slather the bun tops with wasabi mustard. Cover with the bun tops and serve with fancy root vegetable chips.

TUNA BURGER

Steps:

• In a small saucepan saute the onion and garlic in oil until tender (without burning the garlic) and set aside to cool.
• Combine tuna, eggs, bread crumbs, onion mixture, and hot sauce, in a medium bowl and mix well. Shape into 4 patties (mixture will be very soft and delicate). Refrigerate for 30 minutes to make the patties easier to handle. Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and fry tuna patties for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. These are fragile, so be careful when turning them. Serve on buns with tomato slices, Brie and kosher pickles. You may decide to serve wasabi on the side.

TANGY TUNA BURGERS

Steps:

• Chop the tuna into small chunks, then carry on chopping until the tuna is roughly minced. Tip the tuna into a bowl and mix with the garlic, ginger, soy sauce and coriander. Shape into two burgers, place on a plate, then freeze for 10 mins to firm up.
• Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then cook the burgers for 1-2 mins on each side or until done to your liking. Serve the burgers in toasted buns with lettuce, tomato and avocado.
