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!

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.
