This week is the last Land O’Lakes Sauté Express® Sauté Starter recipe! We’re wrapping up the Weeknight Wins Blogger Challenge. We hope you’ve had fun, and tried some easy recipe ideas from our Pinterest Board. If you haven’t pinned yet, now is your last chance to pin away!
Start by making your patties. All that goes into these are two cans of drained tuna, an egg, scallions, salt, pepper, Old Bay Seasoning and bread crumbs (or ground oats). Stir this up and form into six sliders that are about ¾-inch thick.
Now we can put two of these lemon pepper Sauté Express® Sauté Starter squares into a skillet and melt them over medium heat.
Put your tuna sliders into the pan and cook about 4 minutes a side or until browned.
Like so! Once these are all cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
You can use store bought tartar sauce, or make your own. This is just mayonnaise, dill pickles, lemon juice, dill, cayenne, salt and pepper. Super simple and a tiny bit spicy.
To assemble these sliders, grab 6 small rolls, slice in half, top with lettuce, tomato, one of the tuna sliders and that tartar sauce. That’s it! Easy Peasy.

I would make garlic and her shrimp!
This recipe looks phenomenal! It’d be fun to do a dinner party with several different types of sliders.
I just got back from the store with the ingredients for your Greek Shrimp Scampi with Saute Express Starter in Garlich and Herb! I’m really excited to try it! That’s our dinner for tonight!
I express myself by adding different spices to our comfort foods. Sometimes I think I add spices based on how I’m feeling that day.
I would cook this with some chicken and vegetables.
I express myself by cooking for my family with a special ingredient…. love.
I express myself in the kitchen by baking as much as I can, hopefully to make the world a little bit sweeter 🙂
I express myself by experimenting with different recipes while listening to some jazz music stream over pandora and sipping a glass of wine (only in the evenings). These sliders look delicious!!
I would definitely be making this recipe. Looks delicious!
I express myself by trying new recipes or revamping an old one. Keeps my family guessing what will be on the menu next.
I would try your tuna burgers, they look delish!!
I would try these tuna sliders! yummy and economical
Porkchops! Lemon pepper porkchops and rice…Yum!
I’d make lemon pepper pork chops with mustard caper sauce.
These are fantastic Lauren. Total mouthwatering yumminess!
These sliders sound great! I’d like to try them as an alternative to the usual tuna salad.
I will make the tuna sliders. They look heavenly!
I would absolutely make the tuna cakes shown here, OMGa they look SO good!
I would make these, for sure! They look so delicious and perfect for all my summer parties and get-togethers! Thanks, Lauren.
I would make these sliders, they sound heavenly!
I just used the lemon pepper Saute Starter to make a pasta dish – Used a 1 # box of spaghetti. While that was cooking, I melted the sauté starters, added a chopped onion, chopped imitation crab meat and frozen peas. When the spaghetti was done, I mixed the lemon pepper crab mixture to the spaghetti and squeezed a fresh lemon over it. It was very tasty! Next time, I would like to use asparagus instead of peas since I love the lemon peppery flavor on asparagus!
I would definitely make these sliders. My family loves tuna, so these would be a great meal.
These look amazing! I am loving tuna lately (I seem to have a love/hate thing with it) and I think these might be tonight’s dinner. I have wanted to try the saute express for a bit now but wasn’t sure which one to pick. Lemon pepper it is!! 🙂
I love to express myself in the kitchen by baking and cooking. I love trying new recipes and making up my own creations. I find joy in making food for other people 🙂
Lemon Pepper saute starter would be great with fresh salmon.
My kitchen is my domain! I can be whatever I want on any given day…creative, experimental, recipe follower, lazy…my choice. I love my kitchen!
I would most definitely try this recipe! Looks so delish 🙂 Awesome giveaway!
I would like to try making Salmon sliders with the lemon pepper!
Oh these tuna sliders are precious! (and sound delicious too!) I’m thinking that a gorgeous piece of salmon would love to be bathed in this lemon pepper butter over top some roasted asparagus!
I cook cut up chicken breast with the garlic saute express, with some chopped up ramps (wild leeks for those of you who don’t know). Cook rice and add brocolli to it. Mix together and throw in the oven to make sure all flavors blend and come out steamy!
I express myself by baking a variety of fancy desserts and attempt to not only make them look beautiful but also taste great.
I am very intrigued by the Starters and am anxious to try several different flavors; we eat a lot of chicken and steak and there would be so many good opportunities to flavor and season them with the Starters!
Those tuna sliders look great…they would be first on the list to make!
I would love to try one of these starters with a chicken and potatoes skillet, or maybe a veggie medley, very cool product for experimenting 🙂
My favorite way to put my mark on a recipe or a meal is to play with the flavors! I LOVE spices and have found an awesome spice store that has set my collection over the top.
I express my personal style with a fun apron and then let what I cook/bake speak for itself. I can’t wait to try some sauteed veggies with one of the starters. Maybe some green beans with almond slivers thrown in. Yum!
I would make savory monkey/pull apart bread with melted garlic and herb starter and cheese
I really love tuna and I would definitely make this recipe–Tuna Lemon Pepper Sliders!!
I would try these! I also love the “suck it, pocketbook” comment. 🙂 (I know that’s not exactly what you said, but I totally get it.) My husband likes fish, but isn’t a fan of canned tuna…but these look so good, I think I might be able to convince him!
I’m not very original in the kitchen…but I would totally make these with the saute starters. I don’t know if hubby and kids would like it or not, but I could eat them all myself, I think!
I like to express myself through tweaking recipes to my liking and through presentation of a meal!
I would use Saute Express to add dimension to a simple cheese and veggie omelet!
I express myself through baking. I love making things that look and taste delicious. Love this giveaway!!
I express myself through my baking. Love making fresh baked goods and giving to others.
The Starters make a great pasta dish. Kind of a twist on Fettucini Alfredo, without the cream. Add chicken & broccoli with a twist of lemon and it’s a wonderful meal.
I express myself by starting with my Italian roots when cooking. You can’t go wrong with the flavor of Italian!
I would love to make some Lemon Pepper Tilapia or maybe whiting or maybe even try the recipe ^^^ using tuna patties….the possibilities are endless.
Mesmo sem poder concorrer, por que moro no Brasil, eu queria dizer que usaria pra fazer uma torta deliciosa de atum com tudo o que tem direito 🙂
Quando vai ter um sorteio para eu poder participar rss
Adoro seu blog lindo, e desejo que seu final de gravidez seja bem tranquilo, bjs
Dri 🙂
This recipe looks yummy but I think I would also love to saute some green beans in the garlic & herb blend. Then sprinkle on some Parmesan.
My kitchen is my happy place, where I can create goodness that expresses my love for my family.
I add spices and fresh herbs to my dishes to express myself and create new dishes without recipes!
