Burger #2 – The “Deep Sea” Burger
As you can probably guess from the name, this is a burger that uses fish—albacore or yellow-tail tuna steaks—as the signature meat.
Not only is tuna rich in vitamin E and those all-important omega-3 fatty acids, it’s also full of vitamin D—a nutrient that’s linked to the production of testosterone, and one that many Americans aren’t getting enough of.
What you’ll need:
- 1 – 4-ounce, pole-caught albacore or yellow-tail tuna steak, fresh not frozen (per person)
- 1 – Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 – Wedge of fresh lime
- 1 – Teaspoon of fresh cilantro
- 1 – Teaspoon of coarsely chopped, fresh black plum (or other stone fruit)
- 1 – Pinch of kosher salt
- 1 – Pinch of ground pepper
- 1 – Pinch of paprika
- 1 – Organic, whole-grain bun
- 1 – Teaspoon of low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 – Tablespoons of Napa cabbage, finely chopped
How to make it:
Step 1 – Season the tuna steak with the salt and pepper
Step 2 – Pour the olive oil into a medium-sized skillet and heat on high until just before smoking
Step 3 – Add the tuna to the pan and sear quickly for 2 minutes per side
Step 4 – Mix the paprika, mayonnaise, plum, cabbage, and cilantro in a small bowl, mix thoroughly
Step 5 – Remove the tuna from the pan and set aside
Step 6 – Toast the bun
Step 7 – Place the tuna on the bun, dress with the cabbage mixture
Step 8 – Squeeze the wedge of lime directly over the burger
Step 9 – Top the burger with the bun, serve and enjoy!
