TUNA PATTIES/BURGERS JAPANESE STYLE
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.

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.
- Heat oil in pan (you may need 2) Or you can grill on BBQ. Add patties to pan and cook on each side about 4-5 Min's. The patties should have a nice golden brown outside and be medium rare inside. If you over cook tuna it becomes very dry.
- For the wasabi mayonnaise.
- Mix a little water with the wasabi powder to form a paste add mustard and mayo and mix well place in refrigerator for about 30 Min's to allow flavours to infuse.
- To serve place atop salad greens and serve the wasabi mayonnaise on the side.
Tips:
- Choose the right tuna. Opt for tuna that is packed in water and low in sodium. Avoid tuna that is packed in oil, as it will make your burgers greasy.
- Add breadcrumbs or crackers to the tuna mixture. This will help to bind the burgers together and prevent them from falling apart.
- Season the tuna mixture well. Use a variety of herbs and spices to create a flavorful burger. Some good options include onion, garlic, paprika, chili powder, and cumin.
- Form the tuna burgers into patties. Make sure that the patties are evenly sized and shaped, so that they cook evenly.
- Cook the tuna burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from drying out. Cook the burgers for about 5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
- Serve the tuna burgers on buns or rolls. Top them with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.
Conclusion:
Tuna burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create a tuna burger that is sure to please everyone at your next cookout.
