Super Healthy Tuna Burgers With Lemon Garlic Mayonnaise Recipes

SUPER HEALTHY TUNA BURGERS WITH LEMON GARLIC MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Sautee garlic in pan until brown.
• Combine garlic, lemon juice and mayonnaise.
• Combine tuna, scallions, bell pepper and eggs in a bowl.
• Separate tuna mixture into 8 patties.
• Grill patties.
• Put a patty on each sandwich thin with about a tbsp of the mayonnaise mixture.
• Note: You may want to put the tuna in a sieve with something heavy on top for a couple of hours to get it to drain, otherwise it's harder to get these burgers to stick together.

THAI TUNA BURGERS WITH GINGER-LEMON MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss the cucumbers, onion, vinegar, 1 tablespoon of the sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt. Season with pepper and let stand for 1 hour at room temperature.
• In a mortar or medium bowl, using the back of a spoon, mash the ginger with the garlic, chile and remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar to a paste. Stir in the fish sauce, cilantro and basil. On a clean cutting board, thinly slice the tuna. Stack the slices and cut into thin matchsticks. Cut the matchsticks into rough cubes, then chop until the pieces are roughly 1/8 inch. Add the tuna to the ginger paste and stir until evenly combined.
• Using lightly moistened hands, shape the tuna mixture into 4 patties about 1 inch thick. Set them on a large plate lined with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the tuna burgers for 20 minutes.
• Light a grill. In a small bowl, combine the vegetable oil with the sesame oil. Lightly brush the burgers and the cut sides of the buns with oil. When the fire is medium hot, brush the grate with oil. Grill the burgers for 6 minutes, turning once, for medium rare. Move the burgers away from the heat and grill the cut sides of the buns until toasted, 1 minute.
• Combine all the Ginger-Lemon Mayonnaise ingredients in a small bowl.
• Drain the cucumber salad. Spread the Ginger-Lemon Mayonnaise on the cut sides of the buns and set the tuna burgers on the bottoms. Top with the cucumber salad and peanuts. Cover the burgers with the buns and serve.

BAKED TUNA BURGER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together tuna, ricotta cheese, spring onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice and season with pepper and salt.
• Cut the hamburger buns in half, separating top from bottom. Scoop out some of the bread from inside the buns (top and bottom) to make room for the tuna mixture.
• Fill the buns with the tuna mixture and place both halves back together. Wrap the bun in tin foil and place in a moderate oven (180 degrees Celsius) for 15-20 minutes.
• To serve, cut the buns in half from the top.
