Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh tuna fillet
- 50 grams almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 15 grams fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium lemon
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium avocado
- 100 grams mixed greens
Instructions
Finely chop the tuna fillet into small pieces using a sharp knife, or pulse briefly in a food processor until coarsely minced.
Dice the red onion and mince the garlic cloves. Roughly chop the fresh parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped tuna, almond flour, egg, diced onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Form the tuna mixture into four equal-sized patties, ensuring they are compact to avoid them breaking apart during cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Add the patties to the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
While the burgers are cooking, slice the lemon into wedges and scoop out the avocado, smashing it gently with a fork.
Once the tuna burgers are cooked, let them rest for a minute, then serve over a bed of mixed greens, topped with smashed avocado and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
