Don’t just make plain ol’ tuna salad with your canned tuna, make these ultra-flavorful tuna burgers! Not only do they taste so fresh, with a bright lemon-garlic flavor, they’re also easy to make!
These canned tuna burgers are going to become your new staple. They’re loaded with lemon, garlic, and scallions, and impossibly easy because I use canned tuna!
I like to make a batch and freeze them, then reheat in a pinch. They’re always a hit with everyone!
How To Make Lemon Garlic Tuna Burgers – Step By Step
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the canned tuna, panko, scallions, parsley, garlic, lemon, sour cream, egg, salt, and pepper, and mix well with your hands. Form into 4 patties (they will be wet), place on the prepared baking sheet, and bake dry on the outside and slightly puffed, 16 to 20 minutes.
- Serve the burgers on toasted English muffins with lettuce and tomato.
A Healthy Burger
Coming in at 175 calories, with 24 grams of protein and 4 grams of fat, these canned tuna burgers are pretty darn healthy when it comes to the meat patty game. Plus, canned tuna fish is totally undersold for its nutritional value. It’s a good source of essential nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, high quality protein, selenium, and Vitamin D.

DUDE I have a tuna burger recipe going up Sunday! Yours look better than mine ;)
Aaahh great minds think alike! Can’t wait to see yours!!
Wow I’m glad you caught the fire in time! I’ve done that before, but luckily no flame – it was only on the edge of the burner.
Love the idea of tuna burgers – I’ve only done salmon burgers/patties before, but I’ll need to give these a try soon.
Mmm, I just love salmon burgers too!
Haha I’m really sorry but that’s really funny.. sounds like the sort of thing I would do!
Glad to know I’m not the only one who turns into Lucy Ricardo when crises hit! As for a creme brulee torch, count your blessings. My daughter got me one for Christmas a couple of years back and I thought it was the best present ever. Forty creme brulees and twenty pounds later, I had to retire the torch before the Eskimos came to harvest me for blubber! Relieved to hear you’re safe.
he he he… it wouldn’t be normal unless I almost start the kitchen on fire once every few months. No worries. We all have our “oops” moments… ;)
Traumatic, yet hilarious post :)
I shudder to think what would happen if something caught fire while my husband was playing xbox.
It would probably be curtains for us.
Yum this recipe looks AWESOME. I never thought to use canned tuna for burgers before, but what a great idea!
Geez! You gotta watch yourself girl! These sound delicious!
R.I.P. little pot holder.
:) I really loved that little guy…
Well—now you know what to do (and what not to do!). So, you’re covered for the future :)
One time on thanksgiving, my mom opened the oven. Somehow the turkey was on fire and she threw the potholder she was holding in the oven and then shut the door. Obviously that didn’t help…. lesson learned!
I can’t wait to make these! Now that spring is here, I suddenly want lemon in everything!
Oh my goodness that is scary, I’m so glad that everything ended up okay!! I would have reacted the same way too haha, seriously, I can see it playing out now…
These tuna burgers are intriguing me, I’m thinking I need to try them :)
these look delicious! I can’t wait to make them. but one question… I thought in the last post you mentioned there was brown rice in them? did you change that? Or was it accidentally left off?
Hi Katie! Thanks! Yes, when I originally made them I used brown rice, because that was all I had on hand for the Hunger Challenge and didn’t want to break the rules, but I do think bread crumbs would be better. Do whichever you have though!
I love that you tried to throw the fire out the window! Thank goodness for calm men… the last time (and yes, it has happened more than once) that I set the toaster on fire, my husband had to rescue me with the fire extinguisher. In my panic I just couldn;t figure out how to get the thing to work!
I really need to get brave and try tuna. I have never, in my whole life, eaten tuna (except in kindergarten, when I tried it and promptly spit it out). I’ve had a taste aversion ever since, lol. :)
ahaha, You need to give it another go :)
I had the same issue. In 2nd grade, I gagged on a bite of my tuna fish sandwich. Didn’t try it again until a few years ago. Now, I love it! Give it a try. :)
I have actually done this before (with a pan…not a hot pad though)! In my defense I live on the lower level so the window is right by the sink. That way I can spray the fire with the sink’s hose without having flames near me. I love the conversational disclaimer! Great story!
I can’t tell you how good it feels to know I’m not entirely alone in my errors :)
These look awesome! Quick question, though: you said the day before they had brown rice in them; did you leave it out the second time or is it a mistake it’s not in the recipe?
Hey Tamar! Yes, when I first made them I used brown rice because that’s all I had in my Hunger Challenge grocery cart. But I’d recommend using breadcrumbs because I think they’d hold together better and have a better texture. That said, they still tasted great with rice!
Hi Andrea! New reader here & I am already in love! Your conversation posts are too funny. :)
Can’t wait to try out this recipe–as a single gal with a very limited budget, this is right up my alley!
Thanks so much! It’s great to meet you!
So sorry to hear about the fire! Hope it didn’t traumatize you :( I have a question about the recipe. What does the sour cream do and is it necessary? Can it be substituted for anything else? Thanks a lot!
Hi Sareen! The sour cream gives it a creamy moisture and it also acts as a binder. But you could substitute yogurt, mayonnaise, etc. Try leaving it out if you’d like, I’m just thinking they’ll taste dry. Thanks for asking :)

I made these the other night and my husband loved them so much that he called me on his way home from work the next night asking what he needed to pick up at the grocery store so I could make them again! Needless to say, we loved these, thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe :)
Oh Heather, you have no idea how happy this made me! Thank you!!
These burgers are phenomenal! I didn’t think I was going to enjoy them as much as I did! They will definitely be part of our menu at least once a week. Thanks!
YES! Thanks Kelli, so happy to hear it :)
Normally, I’m not a huge fan of tuna but decided to give this recipe a shot. After all, I’ve loved every recipe I’ve tried on here so far… and it was another success!!! Thanks for sharing!

These look like they would freeze well, what do you think? I am always looking for recipes that I can store because I am a college student often cooking for one and it’s nice to be able to make something and not let the rest go to waste.
yes! I’ve frozen them before and they always reheat well!
great! i can definitely see myself taking one for lunch wrapped in a tortilla or something!
Ohhh… I was thinking of Salmon Burgers this week but I’m thinking Tuna Burgers now!
:) hope you like them!! I love the flavor tuna has and the fact that making them is so inexpensive!
I made the Lemon Garlic Tuna Burgers tonight and it was a hit with my boyfriend and I. We are going to make this more often. Thank you for posting this.. So Yummy!!

I just recently discovered your blog and I’ll definitely be back! The pictures look amazing and the stories behind them all are even better. I’ll be trying these tomorrow so wish me luck! Check out our fellow Pacific Northwest blog when you get a chance!
oh my gosh I’m so glad i clicked on this to read for that STORY! This is something I would completely do, my husband worries daily about my ability to keep myself alive without intervention. whoops!
Another winner! Made this recipe with a friend tonight and we both loved it. I’ll be back for more… :)
I LOVE your story…this is totally the kind of thing I do and exactly how my husband responds, while I cry. Glad to know there are others out there like us!
Made these today…omg.
I spread some avocado on both buns, piled on spinach, added some pickles, and melted some dill havarti on top. Heavenly!
I made these tonight and they were great!!! Yum!
These are delicious! Thank you again!
I made these tonight and they are SO good! I haven’t liked tuna made any other way than tuna salad and I thought I’d give these a shot since they looked so pretty. And I’m glad I did. :) I have 3 more of your recipes that I’ll be making throughout the week. I expect I’ll have the same type of success with them as well. :D
I love your site and as I was looking through some of your recipes and found this story about the pot holder and cracked up because it is my life exactly! From my bf’s name being daniel, to leaving bowls in sink to “soak” (code for waiting for him to clean them…), to a nickname my Daniel calls me (monkey). I thought it was very funny how much this story hit home for me and thought I’d share. Thanks for the recipe too, I can’t wait to try it!
Pingback: Lemon Garlic Tuna Burger Recipes! Yummy
These are seriously SO good. I like them better without the english muffin though- because I think the bread hides their deliciousness. I’d serve them like a crab cake with a veggie side. Just discovered this website and can’t wait to try more recipes.
Wow!!! I made these and my BF was EXTREMELY skeptical…So much that he warned me he would try them but was really not thinking he would like them..And then he ate three. I made some tartar sauce for his, because he doesn’t like mayo plain, but I had mine with a little mayo and lettuce:) YUM!! We had them on toasted sandwhich thins.
I just want to congratulate you on being the first since 1990 to get me to actually finish something with fish in it. I know, I know, it’s so HEALTHY. I try it all the time in the hope that my taste buds will finally relent and quit rejecting it with such voracity– I just hate it. But something [odd] came over me yesterday and I just had to make these for dinner. And I liked them. I didn’t love them, but I liked them. And from a fish-hater, that’s pretty huge. Next time I think I’ll add more garlic (yes, next time!).
Thanks for this recipe! It was super tasty and even my uber-picky 3-year-old ate hers!
These were SO good! And super easy. Add some sliced avocado and a dab of chipotle ketchup (just add some chipotle chili powder to your ketchup) and viola! I will be making these again and I think the cooked burgers will freeze well too. Thanks!
Just made these tonight (ate one and froze the rest) – and SO delicious. I’ve been trying to watch what I’m eating and eat more fish, so these were right up my alley! I had mine on a whole wheat bun with some pesto mayonnaise and baby spinach :)
I look forward to trying more of your recipes!

You said that these freeze well, but how do you recommend re-heating? Will these microwave well or do I need to re-bake? I would love to be able to freeze these and take them to work for lunch but don’t have an oven there.
Hi Sara,
I usually throw them in the oven from their frozen state to recrisp them, but I know the microwave will work as well. They’ll be tougher and perhaps drier, but give them 1 minute on high and then assess how much longer you’ll need to heat them :)
Andie
I just made these tonight, and they were great! Just a quick question though: can they be frozen, to save them for later?
oh! Just saw the comment above me, sorry about that! thanks for the tip
These burgers are fantastic!!
My housemates and I jazzed them up a bit with whole-grain buns instead of english muffins, and chopped up sundried tomatoes in the patties too.
Post and re-post – I love your blog! xo
I have been waiting to try one of your recipes and when I could not think of anything creative for tonight I thought of you immediately. My boyfriend swore he hated tuna but after taking one bite of this burger he reluctantly admitted he loved tuna and wants to have th once a week. Thank you so much for te delicious dinner and the win with my boyfriend ;)
They look great, will be making them tonight.

I made these tuna burgers tonight and they were delicious!. They were very easy to make. Just wanted to let you know what a good recipe you have.
Thank you. Thank you. My husband really struggles with weight and these recipes have been delicious and healthy. Plus my kids have loved them all! My husband says this is the best way to use tuna =).
hi!
i made the tuna burgers last night for my kids. they turned out great. we loved them! using whole wheat muffins was excellent. i used a little mayo and dijon on the bread instead of sour cream.
thank you!
Just finished making these burgers and took my first bite… OUTSTANDING! I used a whole wheat thin roll, toasted and some spinach instead of the lettuce (it was all I had) and I can’t tell you how much I love this. These are going to become a staple in my diet plan for sure! Thank you so much!!

You’ve been featured in our limefish studio National Garlic Day Guide!
http://limefishstudio.blogspot.com/2012/04/national-garlic-day.html
Just tweaked these into tuna cups…yummy! Used wonton wrappers and a regular muffin pan baked at 375 for 10-12 mins, until edges were crispy. Added some fresh parmesan cheese and a little mozzarella and subbed greek yogurt for sour cream and cilantro for parsley. Will definitely make them again. YUM!
I love your tuna burgers and tweeked them with fresh mozzarella on the inside and sprinkle on top since my caloric intake is a little higher. It was heavenly. I made it once a month for the last two monthes and I loved it every time. This last batch I made it your way minus the cheese and it was awesome. Thanks so much for helping me decrease my take out/eat out habit.
I think you may have changed my mind on tuna, this looks so yummy and so easy to make, love that it’s not loaded with mayo and fried. Will be making these this week for a 6 year old and my husband. Glad you were safe.
Andie – I just discovered your site and tried out your Lemon Garlic Tuna Burgers. Fantastic! Made them exactly as you said but added some capers and hot sauce. Truly wonderful. Can’t wait to try your other recipes. Thanks!
I wanted to make something for dinner, so I came to your website, and found these!
I made them, but I didn’t have muffins, so I made rice.
I didn’t have Panko, so I crumb-ified some crackers,
I didn’t have green onion, so I put in chopped Romaine lettuce.. I hate parsley, so I put in 1 1/2 tbs of oregano, 1/2 tbs of basil.. And I didn’t have sour cream, so I put in cream and extra lemon.
Haha! Well, anyway! THEY WERE DELICIOUS. Thank you for opening my eyes to this idea!
I tried your recipe for the tuna burgers with a little twist since I didn’t have all the ingredients. In place of the panko bread crumbs, I crushed up 5 multigrain Saltines, and I used 1/2 tsp of dried dill weed instead of the green onion. They were truly something to behold, so thanks so much for the base- that’s always the hardest part, flavor variations are easy. ;)
These look great, can’t wait to try them. Pinterest brought me here, and now I’m having a great time reading through your recipes and stories – you have a fantastic site. You have such a nice writing style!

Made these tonight and <3 them! Even the hubby was impressed and he's a meat and potatoes man! I'm down 170 pounds after gastric bypass. Thanks for putting great recipes out there!
years ago i once caught a pot holder on fire. my instinct was to beat the pot holder against the counter until the fire was out, which worked both well and quickly. after i’d gotten it out my entire family asked why i hadn’t put it in the sink that was full of water less than a foot away from me. the answer was that water hadn’t even occurred to me and quite frankly i’d forgotten the sink existed for a moment.
and these burgers are QUITE delicious, i’m off to make some more right now, actually.
Oh my! These were so delicious. My children devoured them and my husband ate two. I’m already excited about making them again. The best part? I saved so many calories that I was able to have REAL ice cream for desert. Yes, real.

OMG your story about the fire made me laugh hysterically!! I probably would have reacted the same way.

Might be silly to ask, but can these be frozen?

Not silly! Yes, they can. I’ve done it. Just reheat them straight from frozen; no need to thaw.

Could plain Greek yogurt be used as a substitution for sour cream? I really want to try this, and I tend to go a little overboard with the calories sometimes :)
Hey Kelsey,
Yes, plain Greek yogurt would definitely work!

I made these this week, and they are delicious! Highly recommend this recipe!
Do you think it would work to do these in the skillet instead and cook them for a few minutes on each side? Thanks!
Hey Mekayla,
Yes, pan-cooking them would work well! Just add two teaspoons of oil to a large skillet set over medium heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side.

I’ve been using an old recipe from Men’s Health for a long time that incorporates a 1/4C oats instead. My version used 1/2C Breadcrumbs AND 1/2C oats with additions of choice, 2 eggs, then formed into patties and cooked. They’re very hearty and reasonably healthy, but I think i’ll try yours tonight since they’re very minimal and easy.
I’m new to your food blog and will be browsing starting… now!
Thanks Lance! The oats sound like a good addition, but let me know how you like this version if you try it!

This is an awesome recipe! I did alter it quite a bit based on what I had on hand. I used Italian-spiced panko, chives instead of scallions, and I left out the parsley. I also added dried oregano and some chili powder. The English muffins were sourdough, and I used a little Dijon mustard on the finished burger. Really very good!

So good…. I mean, I didn’t have sour cream, so I cheated and used mayo, and at my cabin, the oven is practically useless, so I slapped these puppies in a skillet, and, wham! Even without a bun or muffin, after topping them with burger toppings (including some pickled, underripe avocado; some whole grain mustard, dill pickle chips, and a tad more mayo (which it turns out it didn’t need)), I’m pressed to say thank you between overstuffed mouthfuls!!! I don’t know what magic you did, but these far out strip my mother”s salmon patties. Since I am not missin’ any buns, I’ll probably just make meatball sized patties and use them on salads….. And….. I’ma gonna try this recipe on canned salmon next! And soon!!!! Life. Changing. Tuna. Burgers!!!! Who knew???? *happy. chomping. sigh.*
Haven’t made it but giving it 5 stars since it sounds delicious. My question is can I make them into patties and then freeze for cooking later? I do freezer meals for friends and think this would be awesome. Thanks for getting back to me.
My husband and I tried this recipe tonight. We like trying new things but this will NOT be a repeat in my house any time soon. If tuna could somehow become more funky by being cooked it did. Neither of us finished the burger. I really wanted to like this but was very disappointed. Sorry.
