These Tiny Tuna Fillet Sliders pack a punch of flavor in a fun-sized package, making them perfect for kids and adults alike. Using freshly cooked and flaked tuna fillet formed into patties, these sliders offer a fresh and healthier take on the traditional burger.

Ingredients:

600g fresh tuna fillets
Salt and pepper
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/4 cup chopped parsley
Mini burger buns
Cheese slices
Lettuce leaves
Yogurt-dill sauce (made with yogurt, chopped dill, lemon juice, and minced garlic)

Instructions:

1 Cook and Flake Tuna
Season the tuna fillets with salt, pepper, and lemon zest, then pan-sear until fully cooked. Let cool slightly and flake into small chunks.
2 Form Patties
Combine the flaked tuna with breadcrumbs, a beaten egg, and some chopped parsley to help bind the mixture. Form into small patties to fit the mini buns.
3 Pan-Fry Patties
Fry the patties in a lightly oiled pan until each side is golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
4 Assemble Sliders
Place each patty on a mini bun, topped with a slice of cheese and a dollop of yogurt-dill sauce, and finish with a small lettuce leaf.
