Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped tuna, scallion greens, ginger, coconut aminos, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined — the mixture should hold together when pressed but still look chunky. Divide into 4 equal portions and press each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.

While the patties chill, stir together the avocado oil mayo, wasabi paste, and lime juice in a small bowl until smooth. Taste and adjust wasabi to your heat preference. Set aside.
