Steps:
- For the chipotle mayo: Whisk together the mayonnaise, adobo, parsley, capers, shallots, vinegar, ginger and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- For the tuna: Preheat a large grill pan on high heat until very hot.
- Drizzle both sides of each tuna steak with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Sear the steaks on each side for about 2 minutes for medium.
- Meanwhile, toast the rolls, spread with a little butter and rub with the garlic.
- Spread both sides of each roll with the chipotle mayo. Then layer on lettuce leaves, a tuna steak and some pickled red onions, jalapenos and Fried Shallots.
- In a medium, heavy-bottomed pot, add the shallots and enough oil to cover by at least 2 inches. Place the pot over medium-low heat and bring to a low simmer, stirring frequently so the shallot rings separate. Cook at a low simmer until most of the bubbles subside and the shallots are browned and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Use a slotted spoon or sieve to remove the shallots, place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season with salt. Let dry at least 1 hour. If the shallots are not completely crispy, dry in the oven at 200 degrees F for another 5 to 10 minutes.

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.

- 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.

Steps:
- Cut fish into 1" cubes. Place in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and transfer to freezer. Chill protein until very cold (it should feel firm but still give when pressed with your finger), about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place all grinding parts (the stand mixer's grinding attachment, including the dies, or the bowl and blade of the food processor) in the freezer until very cold, at least 15 minutes. Assemble grinder attachment with chilled coarse die. Set a bowl in a large bowl of ice; arrange beneath the attachment to catch ground tuna and keep it cold.
- Combine tuna, scallions, ginger, and garlic in a large bowl. Grind mixture in batches, with mixer on medium speed, and plunge gently to press through grinder. Add mayonnaise, grapeseed or canola oil, and toasted sesame oil to ground tuna mixture. Mix gently just to combine.
- Form into four 1/2"-thick patties. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Grill or pan-fry burgers over medium heat until just cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest tuna possible. Fresh tuna will have a firm texture and a bright red color. Avoid tuna that is discolored or has an off odor.
- Use a food processor to finely chop the tuna. This will help to ensure that the burgers are evenly cooked and have a smooth texture.
- Add plenty of seasonings to the tuna burgers. This will help to give them flavor and depth of taste. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Use a non-stick skillet to cook the tuna burgers. This will help to prevent them from sticking and falling apart.
- Cook the tuna burgers over medium heat. This will help to ensure that they are cooked through without becoming overcooked.
- Serve the tuna burgers immediately with your favorite toppings. Some good options include lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and tartar sauce.
Conclusion:
Tuna burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little creativity, you can create tuna burgers that are sure to please everyone at your next party or gathering.
