Fresh Tuna Burgers With Red Onion Salsa


I have added wasabi, which is japanese horseradish, to these burgers because it gives them a wonderful kick. you wasabi in the asian sections of a supermarket, but if you can not get a hold of it a dab of english mustard will do.

Steps


Begin by making the salsa: stir all the ingredients together and set aside at room temperature for at least an hour to let the flavours infuse.
Place the tuna in a food processor and pulse until coarsely minced.
Transfer to a bowl and mix with the wasabi paste , sesame seeds and some salt and pepper.
With damp hands , shaoe the mixture into 4 even sized burgers.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celcius.
Spray a baking sheet with a little oil and arrange the burgers on the tray.
Spray with a lttle more oil and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and just cooked through.
Place the tuna burgers on the toasted ciabatta slices and top with a dalloop of salsa.
Garnish with slices of fresh lime and serve warm.
