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.

These look great, however, I can’t find the Saute Express. Do you have any recommendations for substitutions?
Lauren this might be also good with Salmon!
That’s a great idea! I’ll have to try that.
Oh…my, the kitchen is my sanctuary. My pantry a treasure trove. I think if I kept these LOL Gems of Flavor in my trove I could grab a little of this and a bit of that and in the end all I would hear is that I am happy eating this hum. Love when people hum and sigh when eating my creations. I am planning a winter veggie soup with one of LOL flavors. Maybe use the lemon pepper also to makes a mussels dish with crusty bread for stopping up that lemon pepper, herby goodness. Thanks for sharing and getting the ideas going.
i am going to try the recipe for the Lemon Pepper Tuna Sliders but my fave way to use Saute Express is chicken cooked in the Teriyaki Saute Express and served with fried rice.
The tuna lemon pepper sliders look great! Wonder if my 5-yr-old will eat them, better tell her it’s chicken, not fish. 😉
I actually think I would try these tuna sliders but leave out the bun part and make a tuna cake, like a crab cake. Sounds delicious!
I would make a stir fry with chicken, my favorite meat and i love stir fry with lots of veggies and sauce. Sauce express would take some work out of that meal on a busy work night.
These look so good. I love the cayenne in the tartar sauce.
I would make this recipe first, but the possibilities are endless!!!
I can’t enter because I’m from Canada but….I would love to try those sauté starters melted onto some popcorn!
I made these for dinner last night…I am speechless!! These tuna patties are absolutely to die for. I doubled the recipe and was able to made 6 patties. Five patties were made with 1/3 cup of the mixture and 1 patty was made with 1/2 cup of the mixture. I must say though that I’m not a huge fan of the Saute Express Starters because the butter burns easily even though I added a bit of oil. The lemon-pepper flavor did shine through though. These patties are so dense and flavorful. We paired them w/a side salad of cabbage, kale, shredded carrots, white beans, and avocado (w/a lemon-balsamic vinegar dressing). We cannot wait to add these to our meal plan again. These patties were completely gourmet and delightful.
I made these again for dinner last night. I can’t get over how delicious they are!! This time we had them on buns with avocado and tartar sauce. They were absolutely delightful. The creaminess of the avocado, the tang of the tartar sauce, the hint of Old Bay, and the slight tang from the lemon pepper butter makes for a mouthful of flavor. I cannot wait for lunch today!!! I love leftovers.
I ❤ to express myself through baking.
I think I would try the saute to make shrimp franchese or scampi. I have to prepare gluten-free recipes and tend to rely on shrimp as the protein. I might also try it to prepare a pasta primavera.
I would zest up our boring griled chicken night and make a fun summer salad!
I love to express myself by trying new wacky flavor combinations! I get some great (and some not so great mistakes) dishes that are truly unique!
I can’t wait to get back from vacation to make these for my husband!!!!!
I express myself by trying new dishes from other cultures and adding my own little cajun twists.
I express myself in the kitchen with food, of course! The type of food I’m making (sweet, savory, fatty, healthy) are all extremely representative of my mood.
I like to try new things in the kitchen, and focus on expanding my family’s culinary horizons…not always met with cheers, but they are good sports!
This recipe looks delicious! I’m not a fan of tuna but I’d use the starter kit to make this for my husband 🙂
I would really like to try your recipe. I’m trying to add more fish to our diet.
Made your Greek Shrimp Scampi last night for dinner, it was fabulous! These sliders are next!
I express myself in the kitchen in two ways:
1. I get in the kitchen and cook! It is my after work therapy.
2. I try new recipes all the time and make my patient husband the guinea pig. He let’s me know if it’s a keeper, or something I can make “when he’s out of town” 🙂
I would make some shrimp in the lemon pepper starter and then thrown in some fettuchini. Maybe add some spinach? Quick and delicious!
I would be making these,..looks DELISH! 🙂
Ohh I’d make this! Looks great! Or I’d do some chicken breasts with long grain rice and some veggies.
I would cook up some veggies and chicken to throw in a salad!
I express myself by cooking for my family. I enjoy having them at home and seeing them enjoying the food. This grandma is grateful .
I express myself by baking yummy treats. I would love to try the Confetti Chicken and Rice recipe – sound delish.
After seeing these sliders I would definitely be trying these out with the saute starters! 🙂
These look so good! Definitely need to make them for dinner. I buy these butters and haven’t really used them in a different way like you have done here. I think I would do a salmon burger!
I would LOVE to make this recipe! I never thought of making my tuna cakes into a slider, Now I know what I am making for dinner tomorrow! I just might add some peppers.
I express myself each time I am in the kitchen baking and cooking. Experimenting is fun. I would make these Tuna Lemon Pepper Sliders, yum. They look delish.
Good Luck with baby coming. Hope it’s soon.
I would love to make so many of your recipes! I am finally getting into cooking – thanks to your fabulous blog – so, those tuna lemon pepper sliders would be at the top of my list!
I would try fish tacos. They are my favorite.
I would make these sliders. They look delicious!
I try to “express” myself by researching recipes, and sometimes trying to put my own “spin” on them! The Saute Express Starters are a great foundation to build any recipe on!!! 🙂
Um? I guess by getting in my pajamas, pulling my hair back and baking whatever sounds good at the moment!
