Discover the ultimate budget-friendly summer recipe that's always a hit: our California tuna burgers. Inspired by a beachside fishmonger during our trip to California, these burgers combine fresh tuna steaks grilled to perfection with simple, vibrant toppings for the healthiest fast food you'll find.
For 2 people
- 2 thick tuna steaks
- 1 avocado
- 1 tomato
- Spring onions

Prep is key here—chop everything before cooking the tuna, as it only takes 2 minutes on the heat.
1. Mash the avocado with fresh coriander and a touch of chili sauce to create a quick guacamole.
2. Thinly slice the tomato and spring onions.
3. Lightly toast the burger buns. Spread one half with mayonnaise, soy sauce, and tomato slices; top the other with the avocado mash.
4. Heat a frying pan (or grill on the barbecue) and sear the tuna steaks for 1 minute per side, keeping the center pink and juicy.
5. Assemble your burgers and enjoy!
