Instructions
Tuna Patty
- Heat a pan to medium heat with a tablespoon of oil. When the pan is hot, add the onion and sugar and cook until the onions are soft and lightly caramelized. Set aside to let it cool down.
- Place the drained tuna in a bowl. Add the softened onion and the rest of the ingredients (except for the extra bread crumbs).
- Mix all the ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to crush all the tuna - it’s good to have some nice chunks in there. The tuna should be a wet mix.
- Shape the tuna into 2 patties. You can use an egg ring to help form uniform-sized patties.
- Sprinkle some bread crumbs on a plate and place the tuna patty on top. Press more bread crumbs on top of the patty as well (so that both top and bottom are coated with bread crumbs).
- Heat a pan with a shallow amount of oil. Carefully place the tuna patty in the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Using a wide spatula, flip the patty over and fry for a few more minutes until golden brown on both sides.
- Place on a rack or paper towel to drain.
Aioli Tartar Sauce
- Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine. Keep it in the fridge, covered, until needed.
Burger
- Halve the burger buns and toast the cut sides on a pan or grill.
- Place lettuce leaves on the bottom burger bun, top with a tuna patty, tomato slices, avocado slices, egg and tartar sauce.
Salad
- The tuna patty can also be served over your favorite salad, topped with tartar sauce.
