Instructions

Step 1

Start by combining the tuna, soy sauce, cilantro, olive oil, lemon juice, ginger, eggs, kosher salt, black pepper, and almond meal in a bowl.

Next, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the patties and cook them until they’re nicely browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side.

Keep an eye on them so they don’t dry out, and once they’re done, serve them up however you like!

Storage Tips

Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to avoid drying them out. For longer storage, freeze the patties individually on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to one month.
