The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4.35 star rating.

*Flavor*-Good, not fishy at all, both kids and adults would like this. *Presentation*-N/A it's just a burger *Easiness*- Easy to make, only time consuming part is cutting up the ingredients. *Any changes*-Used 2 cans light tuna+a pouch of Starkist Sweet and Spicy Tuna only b/c i couldn't afford the normal tuna steaks. Also added a pinch of Fish Masala to spice it up. I think basically any mix of spice can work with this, if you prefer spicier food. *Any problems*- When trying to flip the patties around, they began to fall apart and i got tuna stuff all inside the oven door. Had to collect the tuna bits, repack them into circles, and then put them back in for another 5 minutes. *Would I make again*-Yes but have to find a way for them not to fall apart.

I really enjoyed the thai flavor. I used can tuna because that was what I had on hand. It worked well, though I think fresh would have been even better. Might try with a little peanut sauce on the bun next time.

As other satisfied reviewers, I made some changes to the original recipe: used mahi-mahi instead of tuna and did a very small dice rather than mince; doubled the cilantro and used panko bread crumbs. Ginger was a bit overpowering to my taste, but otherwise it was perfectly seasoned and I could taste exactly the hint of sesame oil and cumin. Will make it again with less ginger. I'm guessing that reviewers complaining about bland taste might just prefer more spicier food. In this case you might want to add green curry or hot peppers.

These burgers were oustanding! I made them for my dad for Father's Day, and he really enjoyed them! I was not a fan of tuna until now! We bought the tuna from the local seafood market here at the Jersey Shore. We just made some renovations to our house including the kitchen so I had to make some adjustments which ended up benefiting the burger's outcome. I could not find the grater for the carrot therefore I finely diced the carrot. I also used Old Bay seasoning instead of cumin. I served them along side some grilled zucchini and squash that I light brushed with soem EVOO, as well as some corn on the cob. Also when cooking the burgers, I grilled them rather than placing them in the broiler. When I grilled them, I placed each pattie into aluminum foil which prevented the pattie from breaking apart on the grill and helped achieve and maintain that "burger" shape. Again these were great, and definitely a healthy choice! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

Okay for something different. But pretty bland considering all of the ingredients. I doubt I'll make it again.

YUM-O! very good recipe!! I wasn't sure I wanted to mince up my nice tuna steaks, but it was more than worth it for the flavor of these burgers! I took the advice of others & made a few changes: I used 1 tsp green curry paste in place of cumin, omitted the ketchup, left out the cilantro, used more ginger (I like stuff spicy), only used 1 lb. of steaks b/c that's what I had, and served it over Jasmine rice with "The Best Thai Peanut Sauce" by Stephanie M. (heeded others advice with that recipe too). I served the cilantro on the side. YUMMY!! Yea, the ingredient list might be a little strange for both this & the peanut sauce, but wow are they good! I'd recommend tasting the tuna burger first before putting the peanut sauce on it, you may find you like it as is; the peanut sauce gives in an entirely new, but just as good, flavor. My husband loved this as well; it goes in the make-again-soon pile! Thanks Dakota for a great recipe!

Normally I would not review a recipe in which I change the ingredients but these were so incredible I can't not review them. The changes I made were: substituted the carrot with red bell pepper, substitute the cumin with green curry paste, and I left out the salt and ketchup as there was soy sauce is already a salt and I cannot figure out why ketchup is in a thai flavored recipe. I also grilled the burgers instead of broiling them. The flavor was amazing. I will definitely be making these over and over.

This recipe was excellent. Being that we don't eat any meat except fish this was a great alternative to the veggie burger we usually eat. Way to go Dakota for such a great recipe. We served with tomato, lettuce, and wasabi mayo.

This just didn't work for me, and I followed the recipe to the letter. I had high hopes, and it just fell flat. They had an odd taste to me, and didn't hold together well. Oddly enough, my 5 year old loved it. I wish I could say I enjoyed them more, but not even sure what I could do to improve the taste.

Once you get the tuna minced, this recipe was simple and tasty. I added more cilantro, and next time will bump up the scallions and spices as well for a little more flavor.

I served this with a thai peanut sauce over jasmine rice and it was amazing and healthy (except for the peanut sauce). Thank you!

Excellent! I didn't have tuna steaks, so I just used two 7 oz family size packages of Star Kist tuna and it was the perfect amount for 6 regular-sized patties.

I made these with ground ginger and regular onion as that's what I had on hand, and I cooked them on the Foreman grill. They turned out really well! We had them on Kaiser rolls with a lick of wasabi mayo. The next time I make them - and I will actually make them again! - I'll add more sesame oil, and less cilantro. Thanks, Dakota!

Very good! My picky husband really liked it so that alone makes it worth 5 stars. I only had 1lb of fresh tuna, so I scaled it down to 4 servings. I still used 1 egg and added a little extra breadcrumbs(Panko). I was surprised that they held together quite well. Served with an Asian cole slaw recipe from this site. I put the slaw on the burger but next time I will serve it on the side because the peanut sauce overwhelmed the tuna. Thanks for the recipe!

This was a fantastic recipe, very delicious. My husband demolished all the patties very quickly. I didn't put in buns, but served the patties alone with a sode salad
