    tuna burger slidersNo one likes a burger on the grill more than I do. And no one makes a better burger on the grill than Keith. Our summer has been filled with many enjoyable evenings, grilling out on the back deck and watching the sun set. As much as I enjoy sinking my teeth into a juicy beef burger, I asked Keith to come up with some healthier options for me to reduce the amount of red meat (and guilt) in my diet. These little tuna burger sliders did just that and so much more.tuna burger slidersI love tuna and I love Asian flavors.  These little tuna burgers were made especially for me (so I am a bit biased), but I think they will please even the most picky of palettes. The simple ingredients create a great burger flavor that eats more like meat than fish. I love my tuna quite rare, but Keith likes his cooked through. He made a selection of each so that we could both enjoy these juicy little sliders. He topped his creation with lettuce, tomatoes, and the pièce de résistance, wasabi mayo. Keith's sliders are the perfect example of good Asian fusion food: burgers inspired by the fresh flavors of my favorite sushi bar. It doesn't get much better than that.
