Ingredients
- 2 cans of tuna, each weighing 8 ounces, thoroughly drained
- A sprinkle of 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- ¼ cup of freshly chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons of high-quality olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of zesty lemon juice
- A touch of 1 tablespoon of grated ginger root
- 3 large, wholesome eggs
- Just the right amount of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to suit your taste buds
- ½ cup of finely ground almond meal
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil reserved for the frying process
Step 1
Combine the flavorful tuna with a splash of soy sauce, the freshness of cilantro, a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of zesty lemon juice, a hint of ginger, eggs for binding, a pinch of kosher salt, a sprinkle of black pepper, and a touch of almond meal in a food processor or mix it up by hand until it forms a cohesive mixture. Shape this delectable concoction into four mouthwatering patties.
Step 2
Now, warm up a tablespoon of olive oil in a grill pan or skillet set over medium heat. Gently sizzle the tuna burgers in the aromatic oil until they develop a golden crust on each side, allowing them to cook for roughly 5 minutes per side. Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as these patties cook to perfection.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Store cooked tuna patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- 2. For longer storage, wrap each patty individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
- 3. To prevent freezer burn, place the wrapped patties in a large resealable plastic bag before freezing.
