Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna
- 1 piece large egg
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 stalks (chopped) green onion
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the egg, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, chopped green onions, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed into a ball. If it’s too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs; if it’s too dry, add a small amount of mayonnaise.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the patties into the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm as is, in a sandwich, or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
