Instructions

    1.
    Finely dice the pickles into small pieces, as you would see in a relish. In a bowl, combine the pickles with the first amount of mayo and the ketchup. Set this aside for later.
    2.
    In a new bowl, combine the tuna with the green onion, salt, pepper, garlic, and second amount of mayo.
    3.
    In a small skillet, heat half the olive oil over medium heat. Divide the tuna mix into two portions. Place the first portion of tuna in the hot oil and use a spatula to flatten and shape it into a patty.
    4.
    Cook the patty for 1-2 minutes. Flip the patty, then sprinkle half the cheddar cheese over the top. You can put a lid over the skillet to help the cheese melt, cooking the other side of the patty for only another 1-2 minutes. You can adjust the heat to avoid burning.
    5.
    Repeat steps 4-5 for the second patty.
    6.
    Once the patties are cooked, you can serve them with the special sauce either on the side or directly on the patties. Enjoy!
