Dockside Tuna Burgers

Meal Type: Mains

Ingredients

  • 340 g (2 cans) Ocean’s Flaked White Albacore Tuna, drained well and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup (250 ml) finely crushed saltines
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) Old Bay seasoning
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) Dijon mustard
  • 2 green onions, very finely minced
  • 1 rib celery, very finely diced
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • A dash Worcestershire sauce
  • A dash hot sauce (optional)
  • A pinch each salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 hamburger buns or kaiser rolls, split and toasted, to serve
  • Tartar Sauce, recipe follows
  • Finely shredded iceberg lettuce, to serve

Tartare sauce

  • ½ cup (125 ml) mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) green relish (or sub 1 finely chopped dill pickle)
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) capers, chopped
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) lemon juice
  • A pinch freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. To prepare the tartare sauce, combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well. Adjust seasoning to taste.  Can be made up to 5 days ahead and kept refrigerated until ready to use.
  2. For the patties, mix drained tuna, saltines, mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning, Dijon mustard, green onions, celery, egg, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using) and a pinch each salt and pepper. Mix well and shape into 4 x 3-in (7.5 cm) round patties. If the mixture seems too moist to hold its shape, mix in a bit more panko, a tablespoon at a time, until firm enough to shape
  3. In a pan over medium heat, warm a splash of oil and gently fry patties until golden brown and hot in the centre, flipping carefully, about 5 minutes per side.
  4. Dress burger buns on both sides
