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
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the tuna fillet into small pieces using a sharp knife, or pulse briefly in a food processor until coarsely minced.
Step 2
Dice the red onion and mince the garlic cloves. Roughly chop the fresh parsley.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Form the tuna mixture into four equal-sized patties, ensuring they are compact to avoid them breaking apart during cooking.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
While the burgers are cooking, slice the lemon into wedges and scoop out the avocado, smashing it gently with a fork.
Step 8
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.
