In a medium bowl, mix together tuna, 1 t. olive oil, mustard, torn white bread, lemon zest and lemon juice, water, parsley, chives and hot sauce; season with salt and pepper. Taste the mixture before adding the egg to check if more seasoning is needed. Stir in the beaten egg.
Divide mixture into 4 equal parts; form each part into a ball; flatten into 4 patties; place patties onto a wax paper lined plate; chill for 1 hour, which helps patties stay together while cooking.
Heat olive oil and butter (for taste) in a cast iron or non-stick skillet on medium-high heat; place patties in skillet; cook until browned, 3-4 minutes on per side.
Serve with wedges of lemon or with tartar sauce on buns.
