The Asian-Style Tuna Burger with Ginger Slaw is a light, refreshing alternative to traditional beef burgers, clocking in at under 350 calories while delivering incredible flavor and nutrition. Fresh tuna is mixed with aromatic ginger, scallions, and sesame oil, then quickly seared to maintain a tender, slightly pink center. The bright ginger-lime slaw adds crunch and zing without heavy mayo, keeping this burger light and vibrant.

What makes this burger exceptional is the quality of ingredients and minimal processing—fresh tuna needs little enhancement beyond complementary Asian flavors. The patty stays naturally lean while providing heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and complete protein. Creamy avocado adds richness without going overboard on calories, while the crisp slaw delivers satisfying texture and freshness.

Perfect for a healthy lunch or light dinner, this burger proves that eating well doesn't mean sacrificing flavor. It's elegant enough for entertaining yet simple enough for weeknight cooking, and the whole meal comes together in under 30 minutes.
