"Tuna Burger with Wasabi Mayo and Asian Slaw"

We served these tuna burgers atop brioche buns and adorned with a simple Asian-style slaw.  The fuyu, fennel and arugula salad is a nice side along with colorful taro chips.  This is NOT your everyday burger meal (but probably just as good!)

Tuna Burgers on Brioche Buns (makes around 2 to 3 patties)

• 8 oz. fresh sushi grade tuna, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

Optional:  Tabasco or chili oil (for spice)  Heat oil in a pan and add burgers.  Pan fry each side about 2-3 minutes then place on paper towel.  Keep warm.   Toast buns.  Add wasabi mayo, burger and slaw.  Enjoy!
