Ahi Tuna Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ahi Tuna

    Dice the ahi tuna steak into small cubes and place in a bowl. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let marinate for about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Fresno Chili Aioli

    Finely chop the Fresno chili and mix it into the mayonnaise. Adjust seasoning with salt and a bit of lime juice if needed. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Form the Burger Patties

    Using your hands, gently form the marinated ahi tuna into two burger patties. Be careful not to overwork the fish.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil if needed. Cook the patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until seared but still rare in the center.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On each bun, place a butter lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked ahi tuna patty, slices of avocado, and a generous dollop of Fresno chili aioli. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Ahi Tuna Burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
