Steps:
- Prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill the baguette pieces, cut side down, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Combine the olives, capers, 1 tablespoon of oil, lemon juice, parsley, lemon zest, and anchovy in a food processor. Pulse just until the olives are finely chopped. Season the tapenade with salt and pepper.
- Drizzle the tuna with the remaining oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the tuna until golden and seared on the outside, and just opaque in the center, about 2 minutes per side.
- Stir the mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl to blend. (The tapenade and Dijon-mayonnaise can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate. Bring the tapenade to room temperature before using.)
- Spread the Dijon-mayonnaise over the bottom and top halves of the baguette pieces. Top with red peppers and red onion. Cut the tuna steaks across the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the tuna slices atop the onions. Spoon the tapenade over the tuna. Top with the lettuce then the baguette tops, and serve.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan saute the onion and garlic in oil until tender (without burning the garlic) and set aside to cool.
- Combine tuna, eggs, bread crumbs, onion mixture, and hot sauce, in a medium bowl and mix well. Shape into 4 patties (mixture will be very soft and delicate). Refrigerate for 30 minutes to make the patties easier to handle. Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and fry tuna patties for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. These are fragile, so be careful when turning them. Serve on buns with tomato slices, Brie and kosher pickles. You may decide to serve wasabi on the side.

TUNA TAPENADE
This is a wonderful version of tapenade, the Provençal olive paste. Serve it with croutons or raw vegetables, or use it as a filling for deviled eggs. Mash the hard-cooked yolks with the tapenade and spoon or pipe into the hard-cooked whites.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality tuna. Opt for tuna steaks or fillets that are fresh or frozen and have a firm texture. Avoid any tuna that is discolored or has an off smell.
- Make sure your mayonnaise is fresh. Old mayonnaise can make your tuna burgers taste bland or even rancid. Use a mayonnaise that is within its expiration date and has been stored properly.
- Don't overcook the tuna burgers. Overcooked tuna burgers will be dry and tough. Cook them just until the center is opaque, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve your tuna burgers on your favorite bun. Whole wheat buns, potato buns, or even lettuce wraps are all great options.
- Top your tuna burgers with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, and cheese. You can also add a dollop of tartar sauce or ketchup if desired.
Conclusion:
Tuna burgers are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With the right ingredients and a little bit of effort, you can make tuna burgers that are sure to impress your family and friends.
