Ingredients

Ahi Tuna Burger Components

Preparation

Ahi Tuna Burger Preparation

1. Prepare tuna mixture

Dice the ahi tuna into small 1/2-inch cubes and place in a mixing bowl. Add minced shallots, grated ginger, and sliced green onions. Fold in diced avocado, Ponzu sauce, and Cajun Remoulade. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently mix but keep some texture. If the avocado is very soft, fold carefully to avoid mashing.

2. Form patties

Lightly mix the tuna-vegetable mixture just until combined. Divide into two equal portions and gently shape into two compact patties about 3/4 inch thick. Do not overwork the mixture to keep the center tender and pink.

3. Toast buns

Spread butter on the cut sides of brioche buns. In a skillet over medium heat, toast the buns until golden brown and lightly crisp, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.

4. Sear tuna patties

Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over high heat and add a small amount of oil. Sear each patty for about 1.5-2.5 minutes per side, until the outside is just browned and the center remains pink and tender (aim for 115-125°F / 46-52°C). Do not overcook.

5. Assemble

Spread Cajun Remoulade on the bottom halves of the toasted brioche buns. Place the seared tuna patty on each bun, top with avocado mixture and an extra drizzle of remoulade if desired. Cap with the top buns and serve immediately. Garnish with lemon wedges if desired.
