Prepare the Tuna Mixture
Begin by finely chopping the tuna with a sharp knife. Add the fresh dill and parsley to the tuna mixture, chopping them finely as well. Grate the zest of the orange according to your preference, then add it to the mixture. Season the tuna with a pinch of salt and mix everything together until well combined. -
Form the Tuna Patties
Lay a sheet of parchment paper on your work surface. Place a 10 cm diameter ring mold on top of the parchment paper. Fill the mold with the tuna mixture, using a spoon to press it down firmly to ensure the mixture holds together. Carefully remove the mold to reveal the tuna patty. Brush the patty lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking during cooking. -
Cook the Patties
Prepare 3 more patties, ensuring they are all oiled. Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Using the parchment paper, carefully transfer each tuna patty to the pan. Once in the pan, remove the parchment and cook the patty for about 1 minute on each side, or until lightly golden and crisped. Once cooked, keep the tuna burgers warm. -
Prepare the Sauce
In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and mustard. Stir until smooth, then add in the acacia honey and mix well. Adjust the seasoning to taste. -
Serve
Plate your tuna burgers alongside fresh salads or serve them in soft hamburger buns for a delicious and healthy sandwich option. Top with the honey mustard sauce and enjoy the delightful balance of flavors.
