Servings
Ingredients
1 lb tuna fillets
1 fresh green onions , thinly sliced
2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce (Kikkoman or La Choy Lite)
1 tsp fresh ginger root , peeled and grated
0.25 tsp black pepper , coarsely ground
0.25 cup bread crumbs
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 cooking spray
1 oz pickled ginger (if desired)


Directions
1 Prepare charcoal fire or preheat gas grill for covered, direct grilling over medium heat.
2 With chef's knife, finely chop tuna (see Note). In a medium bowl, place tuna with fork, and lightly mix in green onion, soy sauce, ginger, and pepper. Shape tuna mixture into four 3-inch round patties (mixture will be very soft and moist).
3 On waxed paper, combine bread crumbs and sesame seeds. With hands, carefully press patties, one at a time, into bread-crumb mixture, turning to coat both sides. Spray both sides of patties with non-stick spray.
4 Place patties on hot grill rack. Cover the grill and cook patties, turning once, until browned on the outside and slightly pink in the center (5 to 6 minutes). If you prefer well-done, cook 2 to 3 minutes longer.
5 Serve with pickled ginger (optional).
6 Note: Chop fish by hand for a light texture. Using a food processor will make the patties dense and dry.
