Hawaiian Ahi Tuna Burger in the Jungle

I started with this recipe for "Waikiki 'ahi (Tuna Steak) Sandwich":
http://www.instructables.com/id/Waikiki-ahi-Tuna-Steak-Sandwich/?ALLSTEPS

The sauce/dressing was what I was mostly looking for ideas for.
1/8 ONION, sliced, halved 
1 teaspoon SOY SAUCE (SHOYU) 
2 heaped teaspoon MAYONNAISE 
WASABI to taste (see Note [2]) 
We didn't have lettuce, so I needed to substitute w/ finely shredded Cabbage. NOTE: Lettuce is not in season at this time...we don't see very many, and what we see is wilted. The high-end supermercados do sell them at 3 times the normal price of the farmer's market. 


2. Combine the wasabi and mayonnaise in a small dish, set aside. 
4. Cook onions on flat plate with 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce (shoyu). When almost ready (soft), add further 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce (shoyu).
5. Whilst onions are cooking, place bun halves face down on BBQ until toasted. ...I cooked Italian / french bread in olive oil. Or substitute with a tortilla and make a wrap!


Variations:
(1) THAI SWEET CHILLI SAUCE instead of wasabi in the mayonnaise.
(2) Place a slice of TASTY CHEESE on tuna after the first turn.
(3) Add sliced TOMATO along with the lettuce.
(4) Pre-marinate tuna in GINGER-SOY or TERYAKI marinade.
(5) Add a PINEAPPLE ring (grilled also, if preferred).
