Asian Grilled Tuna Burgers

Ingredients:
12 oz (375 g) water-packed albacore tuna, drained
1 large egg
4 scallions, thinly sliced
½ cup chopped cilantro
3 Tbsp plain dried bread crumbs
2 Tbsp low-fat mayonnaise
1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
2 tsp dark sesame oil
¼ tsp salt
1 red bell pepper, cut into matchsticks
1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into matchsticks
2 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tsp sugar

Directions:
1. In large bowl, combine tuna, egg, scallions, cilantro, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, ginger, sesame
oil, and salt. Stir until well combined.
2. Form mixture into four 4-in (10 cm) patties, a scant ½ in (1 cm) thick. (Patties can be made ahead
and refrigerated for several hours.)
3. In medium bowl, combine bell pepper, cucumber, soy sauce, lime juice, and sugar.
4. Preheat broiler. Broil patties 4 in (10 cm) from heat, carefully turning once, for 2½ minutes per
side, or until firm and lightly golden. Top the finished burgers with pepper-cucumber relish.
