Ahi Tuna Burger Recipe
Description
The Ahi Tuna Burger Recipe starts by combining diced ahi tuna with soy sauce, light mayonnaise, sriracha chili sauce, egg, chopped scallions, grated ginger, sesame seeds, and panko bread crumbs to bind the mixture. Formed into patties, they are seared briefly on a sesame oil–greased griddle to achieve a lightly cooked exterior that still holds a pink center, retaining a fresh and tender texture.
Alongside, fresh pineapple slices are quickly grilled, adding a caramelized sweetness that pairs well with the spiced tuna. A hoisin mustard sauce is whisked from Dijon mustard, hoisin, and honey to offer a balance of tangy and sweet notes.
The burgers are assembled on hamburger buns with butter lettuce, the seared ahi tuna patties, grilled pineapple rounds, and ripe sliced avocado. This combination provides a mix of smoky, spicy, sweet, and creamy textures and flavors. Serve these warm for the best experience.
Ingredients
For the Ahi Tuna Patties:
- 2 pounds ahi tuna steaks diced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise light
- 1 tablespoon sriracha chili sauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup scallion greens and whites, chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger fresh grated
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- sesame oil for cooking
For the Hoisin Mustard:
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
For the Tuna Burgers:
- 6 Hamburger Bun
- 6 lices pineapple round, fresh
- 1 avocado sliced, ripe
- 6 leaves butter lettuce
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients for the ahi tuna patties in a large bowl. Divide into 6 equal portions and press into patties. Preheat the griddle (or a skillet) to medium heat. Once it's very hot, brush the surface with sesame oil and place the patties on the hot surface. Sear the patties for 3 minutes per side, so the interior ahi chunks are still a little pink. Flip carefully. These patties are fragile.
- Then immediately grill or sear the pineapple slices for 1-2 minutes per side.
- Whisk together the ingredients for the hoisin mustard. Then spread the mustard on the buns and stack the burgers with lettuce, ahi tuna patties, grilled pineapple, and fresh avocado slices. Serve warm!
