Grilled Tuna Patty Sandwich

1.In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, finely chopped red onion, celery, and parsley.

2.Add the beaten egg, whole wheat breadcrumbs, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl.

3.Mix all ingredients gently but thoroughly until well combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture to keep patties tender.

4.Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.

5.Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat until shimmering.

6.Place the tuna patties in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping carefully to avoid breaking.

7.While the patties cook, prepare the spicy mayo by mixing mayonnaise and sriracha sauce in a small bowl until smooth.

8.Toast the whole wheat sandwich buns lightly until golden and warm.

9.To assemble, spread a tablespoon of spicy mayo on the bottom half of each bun.

10.Place a warm tuna patty on top of the mayo, then add a generous handful of mixed salad greens.

11.Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately for a hearty, diet-friendly sandwich option.
