Dijon Tuna Burger Recipe
- 1½ pounds yellowfin tuna, finely chopped by hand
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil leaves
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger root
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lime, quartered
- Red onion rings and greens, for serving (optional)
- Place the tuna, mustard, basil, garlic, ginger and pepper in a large mixing bowl and toss gently to combine.
- Place the flour and salt on a large plate. Divide the tuna mixture into 4 patties and dredge them in the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and when it is hot, add the oil. Add the patties and cook until rare on the inside and well browned on the outside, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
- Serve immediately, garnished with the lime quarters and red onion rings and greens, if desired.
