Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients for the pickles in a jar with a lid. Screw the lid on tight and give the jar a good shake. Set aside.
  2. Make the patties. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for the patties except the tuna. Add the tuna and mix together with your hands until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Form the mixture into 4 patties and set in a single layer on a plate. Place in freezer for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Mix together all ingredients for the limey ginger mayo in a small bowl.
  5. Brush the grill grates with the neutral oil. Preheat over medium high heat.
  6. When hot, add the patties and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, until grill lines appear and patties are cooked through.
  7. Spread the limey ginger mayo on the top buns. Place patties on bottom buns, top with pickles, and place top buns on top. Serve.
