These vibrant tuna burgers offer a sophisticated alternative to traditional beef patties, packing a punch with fresh ginger, garlic and spring onions. By mincing fresh bigeye or albacore tuna at home, you achieve a superior texture that remains moist and tender when seared. The addition of toasted sesame oil provides a subtle nutty depth, while the ginger adds a bright, slightly spicy lift to the rich fish.
As a diabetes-friendly main course, these burgers are naturally high in lean protein and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. They are wonderfully versatile and can be served in a wholemeal bun with crunchy slaw or alongside a crisp green salad for a lighter, low-carb lunch. Simple to prepare and quick to cook, they are perfect for a nutritious midweek dinner.

Ingredients for Tuna Burgers
575g bigeye or albacore tuna
40g minced spring onions
1 heaping tablespoon finely grated peeled ginger
2 teaspoons finely grated garlic
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
20ml grapeseed or canola oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
How to make Tuna Burgers
Cut fish into 1" cubes. Place in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and transfer to freezer. Chill protein until very cold (it should feel firm but still give when pressed with your finger), about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place all grinding parts (the stand mixer's grinding attachment, including the dies, or the bowl and blade of the food processor) in the freezer until very cold, at least 15 minutes. Assemble grinder attachment with chilled coarse die. Set a bowl in a large bowl of ice; arrange beneath the attachment to catch ground tuna and keep it cold.
Combine tuna, spring onions, ginger, and garlic in a large bowl. Grind mixture in batches, with mixer on medium speed, and plunge gently to press through grinder. Add mayonnaise, grapeseed or canola oil, and toasted sesame oil to ground tuna mixture. Mix gently just to combine.
Form into four 1/2"-thick patties. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Grill or pan-fry burgers over medium heat until just cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side.
