Delicious and crispy tuna patties, packed with flavor and perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans of canned tuna, drained
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (or crushed crackers)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup diced onion (yellow or green)
- 1/4 cup fresh or dried herbs (parsley or dill)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- Oil for frying (vegetable or olive oil)
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients on your countertop.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together your drained tuna, breadcrumbs, diced onion, and herbs. Add in the egg and mayonnaise, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Mix Just Enough: Use a fork or your hands to combine everything until just mixed, being careful not to overwork the mixture to keep the patties light and fluffy.
- Shape the Patties: Shape the mixture into patties about ½ inch thick, yielding 8-10 patties.
- Heat the Skillet: In a skillet, heat enough oil over medium heat until hot.
- Cook Until Golden: Carefully add the patties to the pan, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the patties and let them drain on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Enjoy: Serve warm with a squeeze of lemon or in a sandwich with lettuce and tomato.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, use almond flour or gluten-free crackers. You can substitute flaxseed meal mixed with water for the egg for a vegan option.
