Using lightly moistened hands, form the tuna into six 4-inch burgers. Brush with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the burgers over high heat, turning once, until lightly charred on the outside and rare in the center, about 3 minutes total. Spread both halves of the buns with the Sriracha mayonnaise.

Cooking Instructions
1.
Cut the
Sushi-Grade Tuna Fillets (1 lb)
into a 1/4-inch dice and add to a large bowl.
2.
Add the
Scallions (1 bunch)
,
Fresh Cilantro (2 Tbsp)
,
Fresh Ginger (1 tsp)
,
Red Bird's Eye Chili Pepper (1)
,
Avocado (1/2)
,
Kosher Salt (3/4 tsp)
, and
Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp)
to the tuna. Gently work with your hands to incorporate all of the ingredients.
3.
Divide the contents of the bowl into 4 equal portions and shape into 1-inch thick patties. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes and up to 2 hours.
4.
Make the wasabi mayo. In a small bowl, add the
Wasabi Paste (1 1/2 Tbsp)
,
Mayonnaise (1/2 cup)
,
Lime (1)
, and
Fresh Ginger (1 tsp)
. Stir well to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
5.
Just before you’re ready to cook the tuna burgers, make the dressing. In a medium-sized bowl, combine
Limes (2)
,
Fish Sauce (1 Tbsp)
,
Orange (1/4)
,
Rice Vinegar (1/2 Tbsp)
, and
Garlic (1 clove)
. Stir well.
6.
Toss in the
Romaine Lettuce (1 1/4 cups)
to coat. Set aside until ready to use.
7.
Heat the
Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (2 Tbsp)
in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the tuna burgers, 2-3 minutes per side – don’t overcook the burgers or they will be dry. Transfer to a clean plate to rest.
8.
With the remaining oil in the pan, toast the
Sesame Hamburger Buns (4)
for 1 minute. Add more oil if needed.
9.
To assemble, place the burgers on the bun bottoms. Top each with wasabi mayo and dressed lettuce. Cover each burger with the bun tops and serve immediately.
