Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna (drained)
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 large Egg
- 2 stalks Green onion (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, green onion, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tuna cakes in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the tuna cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
