Hey gang, many of you may not know that I am not only a strength and conditioning coach, but I am a pretty good cook as well. Over the years, I have created tons of delicious, healthy recipes for my clients and myself. Today I am sharing one of my favorites. These FISH BURGERs are easy to make, and taste great. Have them for breakfast, lunch, dinner or as a healthy snack.

INGRDIENTS:

tuna.jpg 3-cans (6 ounces white meat) tuna packed in water (salmon or other canned fish of choice may also be used) 6 egg whites 1 organic apple (your choice, I like Fuji’s) 1 medium onion (I like Red Onions) 1.5 cups oatmeal (organic, old fashioned) 1 Tbsp. “Jerk” seasoning (or any spices or seasoning of choice)
There are two bowls of eggs on a wooden table.

DIRECTIONS:

 

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees

2. Rinse Tuna to remove some of the salt. To do this first remove the lids from the cans and drain the water out completely. Next poke a fork into the tuna several times to create some small holes. Fill the cans with warm water and let sit for a few minutes. Then just squeeze out the water again and you are ready to go

3. Blend oatmeal until it becomes powdered (I use a coffee grinder or dry blender)

4. Chop apple and onion into small (1/4 inch pieces)

5. Mix all ingredients in a bowl (add small amount of water if needed)6. Divide evenly into 6 patties

7. Place patties evenly spaced on a cookie sheet (use butter, ghee, or olive oil to keep from sticking)

8. Sprinkle patties with additional seasoning of choice if desired9. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown
