Lemon Pepper Tuna Burgers

I've seen a few different versions of tuna burgers on various food blogs lately.  When I was searching for inspiration for a healthy but flavorful lunch, I decided to try to create my own version and ended up making Lemon Pepper Tuna Burgers.

I only used three simple ingredients:

• 1 can of tuna
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup lemon pepper panko

I drained the water from the tuna and mixed the tuna, lemon pepper panko and egg in a bowl with a fork.

I warmed up a frying pan on the stove with a tablespoon of vegetable oil.  I shaped the tuna mixture into two patties and gently placed them on the pan. 

I cooked the tuna burgers on medium heat for about four minutes on each side until there was a nice golden-brown color to the burgers.  Although I did have some hamburger buns in the freezer, I decided to eat this tuna burger bunless with some leftover romaine salad. 

The tuna burger was incredibly moist.  The lemon pepper panko provided a lot of flavor, which is good because I didn't add any additional seasoning.  I topped the burger with Stonewall Kitchen Champagne Shallot Mustard and this lunch definitely hit the spot!

Tell me, what is your favorite type of burger to make at home?
