Ingredients

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
2 eggs, lightly beaten
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, sushi-grade tuna for the best flavor and texture.
If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the tuna and other ingredients by hand.
Be careful not to overmix the burger mixture, or the burgers will be tough.
Form the burgers into patties that are about 1/2-inch thick and 3 inches in diameter.
Cook the burgers over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
Serve the burgers on buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado.
