Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) Canned tuna
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 1 unit Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 unit (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the green onions and add to the bowl with the tuna.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise together until smooth.
Add the whisked mixture to the tuna and gently stir to combine.
Mix in the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Use a fork or clean hands to combine until the mixture holds together.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and form each into a round patty, about 2.5 inches wide.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the tuna cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the panko tuna cakes warm with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh squeeze of citrus.
