No recipe required other than a few preparation tips that follow.

Plan ahead and thaw out the tuna burgers and buns to room temperature.

Wasabi mayo:                                      

• 3/4 cup mayonnaise                        
• 1 generous tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 0r 2 teaspoons wasabi paste (available in tubes)
• a meager splash of soy sauce

Stir all the ingredients together in a small bowl, cover, and refrigerate.

Lightly toast the sliced soft pretzel buns, interior sides up, and set aside.

Sparingly glaze a non stick pan or grill pan with oil. Set the pan over medium low heat. Add the tuna burgers and cook for about 2 minutes. Flip the burger and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Flip once again and press the tops lightly. When the tops feels just firm the burgers are done.

Spread a little wasabi mayo on the bottom halves of the buns and place the burgers on top. Top the burgers with a generous dollop of wasabi mayo, add the tops of the buns and serve.

Suggested: Serve the tuna burgers with a crisp seasonal salad dressed simply with olive oil and vinegar and seasoned with salt and pepper.

This is a lovely quick meal that you will find yourself returning to again and again!
