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.
OPEN-FACED SEARED TUNA BURGER WITH WASABI MAYONNAISE
These tuna burgers are best eaten very rare, so buy your sushi-quality tuna from a reputable fishmonger. The fish should be glistening and jewel-toned, with no trace of cloudiness. Wasabi paste, or Japanese horseradish, is distinctive not only for its bright green color, but also for its head-rushing heat. Combined with a little mayonnaise and low-fat sour cream, it becomes a perfect condiment for the tuna burgers. Wasabi is available in powder form, too, and can be mixed into a paste with a little water.
