Method

Specialty Burgers & More - Tuna Burger

  1. 1

    Make Lemon-Dill Mayo

    Whisk 0.25 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.

  2. 2

    Mix Patties

    In a large bowl, combine drained tuna, onion, breadcrumbs, egg, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (patty binder), Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.

  3. 3

    Shape Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 portions and form into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Chill 15 minutes to help them set if mixture feels loose.

  4. 4

    Cook Patties

    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.

  5. 5

    Toast Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns in the skillet or a toaster until golden.

  6. 6

    Assemble Burgers

    Spread lemon-dill mayo on the bottom buns. Layer with lettuce, tomato, and tuna patty. Add an extra dab of mayo if desired, then top with the lid.
