HAWAIIAN TUNA BURGERS WITH MAUI WOWEE SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover; or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
• Make the salsa: combine all the ingredients in a bowl; stir to mix; set aside to let flavors blend.
• Make the patties: In a bowl, combine the tuna, panko, egg, mustard, garlic, honey, sesame oil, salt, pepper, and cayenne; mix well.
• Divide mixture into 6 portions; form the portions into patties to fit the buns.
• When the grill is ready, brush grill rack with vegetable oil.
• Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once, just until opaque throughout, about 4 minutes on each side.
• During the last few minutes of cooking, place the buns, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly.
• Assemble the burgers: brush the cut sides of the buns with teriyaki sauce.
• On each bun bottom, place a patty and an equal portion of the salsa; add bun tops and serve.
