1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Thai sweet chili sauce
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
1/2 limes, juice of or 1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon honey

1 cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs-I used whole wheat )
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons Thai sweet chili sauce
2 (5 ounce) cans tuna in water, drained
1/3 cup celery, finely chopped (I used the food processor)
1/3 cup green onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
4 sandwich buns, thin, cut in half and toasted (or leave untoasted if you prefer)
1/3 cup baby greens
1 tablespoon olive oil (if frying)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • If baking(you can also fry-instructions below), preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, mix sauce ingredients. Place 2 tbls. of the sauce in a large bowl. Cover and chill the remaining sauce in the fridge.
  • To the same large bowl, add the eggs, panko, soy sauce, and Thai chili sauce. Break up the tuna and add to the bowl. Add celery, green onions and red bell pepper. Salt and pepper to taste. Stir and let stand about 10 minutes.
  • Using wet hands, shape the tuna mixture into 4 patties, about 3/4" thick.
  • If you want to fry them, put the oil in a skillet and heat on medium high heat. Turn down the heat to medium and add burgers and saute about 4-5 minutes each side, turning gently.
  • If you bake them, place on baking sheet. Bake at 450*F. for 10-12 minutes.
  • To serve, spread sandwich buns with remaining mayo/ginger sauce. Add patties to the bottom half of bun. Top with baby greens, and top buns.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh tuna for the best flavor and texture. Frozen tuna can also be used, but it should be thawed completely before cooking.
  • If you are using canned tuna, be sure to drain it well and flake it before adding it to the burger mixture.
  • For a more flavorful burger, use a variety of seasonings, such as onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and cumin.
  • If you want a crispy burger, pan-fry it over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. For a healthier option, bake it in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve tuna burgers on a bun with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Tuna burgers are a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying burger that is sure to please everyone at the table.
