Method

  • step 1

    Chop the tuna into small chunks, then carry on chopping until the tuna is roughly minced. Tip the tuna into a bowl and mix with the garlic, ginger, soy sauce and coriander. Shape into two burgers, place on a plate, then freeze for 10 mins to firm up.

  • step 2

    Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then cook the burgers for 1-2 mins on each side or until done to your liking. Serve the burgers in toasted buns with lettuce, tomato and avocado.

RECIPE TIPS
COOKING TUNA

Like beef, tuna can be cooked to your liking. To keep the burgers succulent, cook them for 1 min on each side over a moderate heat, leaving them pink in the middle.

I’ve made these burgers a couple of times and they never disappoint. They are super tasty and very easy to make. My husband and kids love them and it makes a nice change to the usual tuna steak in a pan.

Cooked with some improvements: the fresh tuna should be soaked in milk for not less than 30 minutes and then washed and drained. Add sesame seeds and sweet corn. I replaced the coriander with parsley. Pan fried the burger with sesame oil.

question

Could I use canned tuna instead of fresh?

Hi, thanks for your question. This recipe won't work with tinned tuna as you'll find the burgers will just fall apart. You could try our Gluten-free storecupboard fishcakes (bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/gluten-free-storecupboard-fishcakes) or Tuna and sweetcorn fishcakes…
