Tuna is a “new to me” fish that is really delicious in burger form.
Tuna Burger on Hemp Bread with Avocado, Baby Spinach, and Roasted Tomato
Growing up, I absolutely HATED tuna, but I’m talking about the canned stuff. Occasionally, my mom would make tuna salad sandwiches and the smell was foul enough to make me want to hide. No offense mom 
Love ya!
Please tell me I’m not the only one that hates canned tuna. To this day, I still won’t eat it.
Now fresh tuna, that’s a different story…
I’ve had fresh, Yellowfin Tuna a few times and I’ve always been impressed. It’s a little bit pricey, but you only live. Sometimes you just have to splurge on the good stuff!
I mean, is it possible for my grocery post to get any higher?
And who doesn’t love a good burger?
These tuna burgers are high in protein, omega 3’s, Vitamin D, and of course, flavor.
Yellowfin Tuna Burgers
Ingredients
Directions
- In a food processor, grind the tuna.
- Transfer the tuna to a bowl and add garlic, ginger, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Mix gently, and shape into four 1-inch-thick patties. To get a perfect shape, you can use a glass as a cut out.
- Cover, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties to medium-rare, about 2 minutes per side.
- Serve on bread with desired condiments. I used avocado, spinach, and tomato.
Serve with plenty of avocado. It’s essential.
You’ve probably heard a lot about the dangers of mercury in the news, and while it can be scary, don’t let it keep you away from eating fish.
According to the FDA, you can safely enjoy up to 6 ounces of tuna a week without any undesirable consequences.
So fire up the grill and start cooking these Yellowfin Tuna Burgers!

Let me know if you make them!
That looks INCREDIBLE. Please come cook for me?
I could never handle the smell of canned tuna either… I likes it when my mom made a tuna noodle cassarole, but I had to stay out of the kitchen until it was done haha.

Tuna casserole = blech
I actually love canned tuna, haha. Have you tried mixing it with hummus? That sounds really weird, but it REALLY kicks the taste up a notch. Try lemon hummus with black pepper…so good and CHEAP, I promise!! I hate it mixed with mayo, too! That being said, ALL tuna is good in my book, so these look awesome.

I’ve never tried mixing it with hummus. I’ve done that with hard boiled eggs and salmon, but never tuna. Maybe I’ll try it
first off, hi! i’m jeannette.:) i’m a n00b in the blog world and i’ve actually read several of your posts before i decided to start a blog myself. my running isn’t to the degree of awesome as yours is, but i feel like that has the potential to change for me since i’ve been making noise about doing some marathons in the near future..
anyway, don’t hate me, but i love canned tuna. all tuna. all fish, actually. my mom would make it for me but she always put celery in it. ick. i tried to pick it out but that became too much work so i’d muddle through.
that hummus idea is a good one! i have some roasted garlic hummus i want to use up.. hmmmm..
Hello! Glad you are enjoying my blog
I only eat canned tuna when there’s absolutely nothing else that looks appetizing in the house for me, lol. This looks delicious though!

I hated canned tuna as a child. I can eat it on occasion now, but it is not something I go looking for. It is more of when I’m back home and there is nothing else left-that is what I eat.

I have actually always loved canned tuna.

I don’t think I can read your blog anymore.
Now I’m going to have to post a picture of a tuna fish sandwich!

Do it and I’ll have to leave a snarky comment
Uh guilty here as well…;).
BUT – now you do have me considering trying a yellowfin (although I’ve never seen it before!). If it’s in burger form – then it’s a MUST!

Do you have a recipe for the burger on the top of the web page? Is that beef or lamb? Looks very tasty either way.
