I’ve seen a few different versions of tuna burgers on various food blogs lately. When I was searching for inspiration for a healthy but flavorful lunch, I decided to try to create my own version and ended up making Lemon Pepper Tuna Burgers.
I only used three simple ingredients:
- 1 can of tuna
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup lemon pepper panko
I drained the water from the tuna and mixed the tuna, lemon pepper panko and egg in a bowl with a fork.
I warmed up a frying pan on the stove with a tablespoon of vegetable oil. I shaped the tuna mixture into two patties and gently placed them on the pan.
I cooked the tuna burgers on medium heat for about four minutes on each side until there was a nice golden-brown color to the burgers. Although I did have some hamburger buns in the freezer, I decided to eat this tuna burger bunless with some leftover romaine salad.
The tuna burger was incredibly moist. The lemon pepper panko provided a lot of flavor, which is good because I didn’t add any additional seasoning. I topped the burger with Stonewall Kitchen Champagne Shallot Mustard and this lunch definitely hit the spot!
Tell me, what is your favorite type of burger to make at home?
