Tuna Burgers
 
Makes about 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 pound bluefin, yellowfin, or bigeye tuna (tougher head and tails cuts work great)
  • Swordfish Bacon (recipe follows)
  • Kosher salt
  • Ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Hamburger buns
Instructions
  1. Freeze tuna for 20 minutes. Then place in meat grinder or slice against the grain of the meat and pulse in food processor until chopped into small pieces.
  2. Using a 4-inch ring mold or burger press, form 4 patties on parchment paper. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  3. In a large skillet, fry slices of Swordfish Bacon over medium-high heat until crispy, turning once. Set aside and keep warm.
  4. Season tuna with salt and pepper.
  5. Heat a skillet over high heat, add canola oil and butter, and carefully add patties. Cook on one side until slightly browned and crisped, about 2 minutes; flip and cook for 1 minute on the other side. The patties should be slightly rare inside. Serve on your favorite bun with all the classic condiments and Swordfish Bacon.
