Step 1
In a bowl, combine the tuna, soy sauce, cilantro, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, ginger, eggs, kosher salt, pepper, and almond meal. Mix everything together until the mixture holds together well—you can do this by hand or use a food processor if you prefer. Shape the mixture into four even patties.

Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, until they’re nicely browned and cooked through. Serve warm and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it

How to serve
Serve these burgers wrapped in large lettuce leaves or alongside a crisp salad with avocado and tomatoes. Adding a side of roasted vegetables or sweet potato fries keeps the meal balanced and satisfying without straying from paleo guidelines.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to maintain moisture and flavor. For longer storage, freeze the uncooked patties separated by parchment paper and cook directly from frozen when ready.
