Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) Canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 0.5 cup Canned sweet corn (drained)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 stalks Green onion (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)
- 1 whole Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, canned sweet corn, egg, whole wheat breadcrumbs, fresh dill, and green onion.
Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper to the mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Using clean hands, form the mixture into 8 small patties (about 2.5 inches in diameter each). Press them gently to ensure they hold their shape.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place half of the patties into the skillet.
Cook the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and repeat the cooking process with the remaining patties.
Serve the tuna patties warm, topped with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired. Pair with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete, healthy meal.
