The history of Tuna Burgers served on a bed of mixed greens instead of a bun can be traced back to the fusion of Asian and American culinary traditions. This innovative twist on the classic burger originated in upscale restaurants in coastal regions, where fresh seafood is abundant. Renowned chefs, such as Nobu Matsuhisa, have popularized this dish by infusing it with Japanese flavors like soy sauce and ginger. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in trendy eateries in cities like Los Angeles and New York. The key to perfecting this dish lies in using high-quality tuna and incorporating vibrant, fresh greens for a delightful contrast in textures and flavors.
