tuna burgers skillet
This tuna burgers skillet is an easy tuna burger recipe that's packed with protein and flavor. These homemade tuna burgers are pan-fried to golden perfection and served with zesty wasabi mayo.
Ingredients
- 3 cans chunk light or flaked light tuna, drained well
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise mixed with 1 tsp wasabi paste (optional)
- 2–3 small mushrooms, diced
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs whisked
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp lemon pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp oil (we recommend a blend of olive oil and sesame oil)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine all ingredients using a fork, then mix thoroughly by hand until the mixture is cohesive.
- Form the mixture into six even burger patties. Note that these will be slightly more moist than traditional burgers, requiring gentle handling.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil.
- Carefully place the patties into the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd. Pan-fry for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden brown and set. Gently press down with a spatula as they cook for a more uniform crust.
- Remove cooked burgers from the skillet and serve on whole-grain buns with additional wasabi mayo, lettuce, and tomato slices. Enjoy!
