Protein-Style Ahi Tuna Burgers
Main
Ingredients
For the Creamy Tartar Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
10 Farmer’s Garden® by Vlasic® Dill Chips diced
1 1/2 tablespoons Farmer’s Garden® by Vlasic® Dill Chip brine
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
salt and pepper to taste
For the Tuna:
16 ounces ahi tuna (cut into 4 equal 4 ounce portions)
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cucumber cut into matchsticks
8 savory cabbage leaves
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the tartar sauce ingredients until fully incorporated and set aside.
Season tuna portions with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, toss together the two kinds of sesame seeds.
Then gently press each piece of tuna directly onto the sesame seeds, on all sides to fully coat.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Sear each piece of tuna on each side for 2 to 3 minutes (you want to make sure the center is still nice and pink).
Set seared ahi tuna steaks aside for 3 to 4 minutes.
Slice each portion into 4 or 5 slices.
To assemble: Place a large dollop of tartar sauce into half of the cabbage leaves and top each with some sliced tuna.
Top the tuna with the cucumber sticks, a sprinkle of paprika and another cabbage leaf.
Serve.
