Tuna Burgers with Garlic Olive Oil and Red Onion

Last night I was too tired to post the deliciousness that happened at dinner time so I will write about it now....

Now that the water crisis is behind us I can start cooking again however, yesterday I was still a little skeptical as to whether the water was safe to drink or cook with yet, so I did a semi-homemade kind of dinner and it was so yummy! I served up Tuna burgers with a side of asparagus!

This is what you need for the tuna burgers:

2 frozen tuna burgers ( I get mine from Whole Foods)
4 Slices of gluten free sandwich bread
Red Onion
Garlic Olive Oil (Olave Organic Garlic Olive Oil)
Butter

To cook the burgers:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. While the oven is preheating, get a cookie sheet and cover it with aluminum foil. On top of the aluminum foil, place a metal rack with slits (like a sheet you use to cool cookies); spray lightly with cooking spray. Place your tuna burgers on top, place in oven-- cook for 6-8 minutes on each side. Once that is complete, remove tuna burgers from oven and finish the cooking process in a skillet (on medium heat with a little cooking spray) cooking approximately 1-2 minutes on each side so the burger brown slightly. Once cooked, remove from heat.

Toast gluten free sandwich bread in toaster oven (Breville BOV800XL The Smart Oven 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven with Element IQ). Once toasted, spread butter on one piece and garlic olive oil on the other. Place tuna burger in between. Serve with a nicely cut (not too thin), circle slice of red onion on the side (it makes the plate look pretty and tastes amazing on the burger!!). Enjoy!

The gluten free sandwich bread definitely adds to the yummy-ness, the texture of the bread goes so nicely with the burger, I much prefer this over a regular burger bun.

This burger can be served with whatever you want on the side. Becca and I had oven roasted asparagus with a little pepper and sea salt (Alessi Coarse Sea Salt, 2.83-Ounce Grinders (Pack of 6)) and they went very nicely with the meal!
