Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained
1 egg
½ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
⅓ cup minced onion
¼ cup minced celery
¼ cup minced red bell pepper
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chili sauce
½ teaspoon dried dill weed
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 dash hot pepper sauce

Shape into 4 patties (mixture will be very soft and delicate). Refrigerate for 30 minutes to make the patties easier to handle, if desired.

  • Serve on buns with tomato slices and lettuce leaves, if desired.

TUNA STEAK BURGERS



Tuna Steak Burgers image

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Time 2h5m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons adobo from a can of chipotle peppers
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced capers
1 tablespoon minced shallots
2 teaspoons sherry or white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon grated ginger (grated on a rasp grater)
1 clove garlic, grated on a rasp grater
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 fresh or frozen tuna steaks, about 4 ounces each and 3/4 to 1 inch thick, at room temperature
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 brioche or potato rolls, split
Butter, for the rolls
1 clove garlic, peeled
Butter lettuce leaves, for topping
Pickled red onions, for topping
1/2 jalapeno, thinly sliced
Fried Shallots, recipe follows, for topping
6 to 8 medium shallots, very thinly sliced on a mandoline
Neutral oil, for frying
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the chipotle mayo: Whisk together the mayonnaise, adobo, parsley, capers, shallots, vinegar, ginger and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • For the tuna: Preheat a large grill pan on high heat until very hot.
  • Drizzle both sides of each tuna steak with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Sear the steaks on each side for about 2 minutes for medium.
  • Meanwhile, toast the rolls, spread with a little butter and rub with the garlic.
  • Spread both sides of each roll with the chipotle mayo. Then layer on lettuce leaves, a tuna steak and some pickled red onions, jalapenos and Fried Shallots.
  • In a medium, heavy-bottomed pot, add the shallots and enough oil to cover by at least 2 inches. Place the pot over medium-low heat and bring to a low simmer, stirring frequently so the shallot rings separate. Cook at a low simmer until most of the bubbles subside and the shallots are browned and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Use a slotted spoon or sieve to remove the shallots, place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season with salt. Let dry at least 1 hour. If the shallots are not completely crispy, dry in the oven at 200 degrees F for another 5 to 10 minutes.

THE WORLD'S BEST TUNA BURGERS!!!



The World's Best Tuna Burgers!!! image

I love this recipe because it is simple and packed with flavor. My sister when we were much younger had decided to stop eating meat, and so my mother and I had to create some new dishes for her to eat... we came up with this. It also works with canned Salmon...enjoy!!!

1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 medium onion, dices small
1/3 cup seasoned dry bread crumb, for the mix
1/2 cup breadcrumbs, on the side for coating

  • Place the extra breadcrumbs for coating on a shallow dish.
  • Preheat pan on medium with Pam.
  • Form a patty with your hands and coat both sides of it with breadcrumbs.
  • Place the patty in a preheated fry pan.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 pounds bigeye or albacore tuna
1/4 cup minced scallions
1 heaping tablespoon finely grated peeled ginger
2 teaspoons finely grated garlic
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 teaspoons grapeseed or canola oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Cut fish into 1" cubes. Place in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and transfer to freezer. Chill protein until very cold (it should feel firm but still give when pressed with your finger), about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place all grinding parts (the stand mixer's grinding attachment, including the dies, or the bowl and blade of the food processor) in the freezer until very cold, at least 15 minutes. Assemble grinder attachment with chilled coarse die. Set a bowl in a large bowl of ice; arrange beneath the attachment to catch ground tuna and keep it cold.
  • Combine tuna, scallions, ginger, and garlic in a large bowl. Grind mixture in batches, with mixer on medium speed, and plunge gently to press through grinder. Add mayonnaise, grapeseed or canola oil, and toasted sesame oil to ground tuna mixture. Mix gently just to combine.
  • Form into four 1/2"-thick patties. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Grill or pan-fry burgers over medium heat until just cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side.

TUNA PATTIES/BURGERS JAPANESE STYLE



Tuna Patties/Burgers Japanese Style image

I have already posted a salmon patty recipe, so I thought I would move on to tuna. I buy Ahi tuna, which is most commonly used in raw Japanese fish dishes such as sashimi. Ahi refers to two species, bigeye tuna and yellowfin tuna. With yellowfin being most common, it has nice red pigmentation to skin, it is more perishable than bigeye and looses its red pigmentation quicker. So when buying look for a good bright red colour for freshness.

Provided by The Flying Chef

Categories     Tuna

Time 28m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

olive oil
850 g fresh ahi tuna (see description above)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 green onions, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon Japanese soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh coriander, Finely chopped
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, flakes (Japanese breadcrumbs I found these a few years ago and have never gone back to regular breadcrumbs, )
2 teaspoons wasabi powder
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Cut tuna into chunks place tuna, mayo, mustard, vinegar and lemon juice into a food processor or blender and pulse until ingredients are just combined. Add onion, soy sauce, ginger and garlic and pulse again to combine.
  • Add coriander and panko (note: save enough flakes to coat the outside of patties for frying.) Mix these ingredients until combined.
  • Shape into patties it will make 8 medium patties (2 per person) or 6 Large burgers if you want to serve them this way in buns. Place patties on tray and put in fridge to chill for 15-20 Min's.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 (6-inch long) pieces of baguette bread, halved horizontally
1/3 cup pitted green olives
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives
1 tablespoon drained capers
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 anchovy, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (12 to 14-ounce) tuna steak
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup purchased roasted bell peppers, drained and sliced into 1/2-inch wide strips
4 thin slices red onion
4 romaine lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • Prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill the baguette pieces, cut side down, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Combine the olives, capers, 1 tablespoon of oil, lemon juice, parsley, lemon zest, and anchovy in a food processor. Pulse just until the olives are finely chopped. Season the tapenade with salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle the tuna with the remaining oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the tuna until golden and seared on the outside, and just opaque in the center, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Stir the mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl to blend. (The tapenade and Dijon-mayonnaise can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate. Bring the tapenade to room temperature before using.)
  • Spread the Dijon-mayonnaise over the bottom and top halves of the baguette pieces. Top with red peppers and red onion. Cut the tuna steaks across the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the tuna slices atop the onions. Spoon the tapenade over the tuna. Top with the lettuce then the baguette tops, and serve.

Tips:

  • Select High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, sushi-grade tuna for the best flavor and texture. Use high-quality mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and bread crumbs for a richer taste.
  • Properly Drain the Tuna: Ensure the tuna is well-drained before mixing it with other ingredients to prevent the burgers from becoming too soggy.
  • Use Panko Breadcrumbs: Panko breadcrumbs add a crispy texture to the tuna burgers. If you don't have panko, you can use regular breadcrumbs but toast them in a pan with some butter for added flavor.
  • Add Herbs and Spices: Experiment with different herbs and spices to enhance the flavor of the tuna burgers. Some popular options include parsley, dill, thyme, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Handle the Tuna Burgers Gently: Be gentle when forming and handling the tuna burgers to prevent them from breaking apart. Use a light touch and avoid overworking the mixture.
  • Cook Over Medium Heat: Cook the tuna burgers over medium heat to prevent them from burning on the outside while remaining raw on the inside. Be patient and allow them to cook thoroughly.

Conclusion:

Tuna burgers are a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed in various ways. Whether you prefer them grilled, pan-fried, or baked, these burgers offer a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. With endless topping possibilities, you can customize them to suit your taste preferences. So, experiment with different recipes, and enjoy the culinary adventure of creating your perfect tuna burger masterpiece!
