Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh tuna steak, diced
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 burger buns
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Sliced tomatoes

Directions

  1. In a food processor, pulse the diced tuna until coarsely chopped.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped tuna, breadcrumbs, red onion, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
  4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.
  5. Place the tuna patties on the grill or pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the burgers are cooked through and slightly charred on the outside.
  6. Remove the burgers from the grill or pan and let them rest for a few minutes.
  7. Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
  8. Assemble the burgers by placing a tuna patty on each bun, then top with lettuce, sliced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and tartar sauce.
  9. Serve the Tuna Burgers immediately and enjoy!
