Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 oz canned tuna
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp green onion
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Add the egg, almond flour, dijon mustard, lemon zest, chopped fresh parsley, chopped green onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the tuna.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should hold together but not be too wet.
Form the mixture into four evenly-sized burger patties.
In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tuna patties into the skillet.
Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
Remove from the skillet and let them rest for a minute or two.
Serve the tuna burgers on a bed of lettuce or with a side of vegetables to keep them Whole30 compliant.
