MACK'S TUNA BURGERS
Found this on the Allrecipes website. I would recommend using a high quality teriyaki sauce, some can be way too salty. These are a great lower-fat alternative to the traditional beef burger.

The chef Michel Richard featured these tuna burgers in his 2006 cookbook, "Happy in the Kitchen." At the time of publication, Mr. Richard's Washington, D.C., restaurant, Citronelle, was considered one of the best in the country.
