Ahi Tuna Burger Recipe

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.
