Ahi Tuna Burgers:
- 1 lb Ahi Tuna
- ½ Cup Panko Crumbs Gluten-Free if needed
- 2 Green Onions Sliced
- 1-2 Tablespoons Black Sesame Seeds
- 2 cloves Garlic pressed or finely minced
- 2 teaspoon Soy Sauce
- ½ teaspoon Ground Pepper
- ½ teaspoon Salt
Assembly:
- 1 Avocado thinly sliced
- ½ Red onion thinly sliced
- 4 Burger Buns
Instructions
Ginger Slaw:
- Measure carrots, cabbage, and green onions into a medium bowl. Stir to combine, then set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic.
- Pour over the bowl of prepared vegetables, toss gently to coat.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap, chill until use.
Wasabi Mayo:
- In a small bowl, whisk together wasabi powder and water until smooth, allow to sit for 5 minutes
- When 5 minutes have passed, whisk in mayonnaise, until smooth.
- Cover and chill until use.
Burgers:
- Chop tuna into chunks – about 1″ or so – and blitz a couple times in a food processor. You want there to be some small chunks, not just a super smooth mush.
- Place in a medium-large bowl, along with remaining ingredients. Mix gently until thoroughly combined.
- Divide mixture into 4 equal mounds, shape into burgers.
- Heat non-stick skillet, spray or coat with a small amount of olive oil. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes, until it looks to be cooked halfway up.
- Gently flip – I like to use 2 large spatulas – and cook for a few more minutes, until cooked all the way through and lightly browned.
Assembly:
- Spread both halves of each bun with Wasabi Mayo.
- Arrange avocado and red onion slices on the bottom half of each burger bun, top with a cooked tuna burger patty.
- Give the ginger slaw a quick stir, then arrange a generous portion on top of each patty, cap it off with the top of each bun.
- Serve immediately.
