Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 medium red radish
- 0.5 cup white radish (daikon)
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dill (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (for sauce)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine canned tuna (drained), breadcrumbs, egg, chopped parsley, finely chopped green onion, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until it forms a cohesive mixture. If it feels too dry, add a teaspoon of Greek yogurt or water to help bind.
Shape the mixture into 8 medium-sized patties (approximately 2.5 inches wide). Place them on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 10 minutes to help them firm up.
While the patties chill, prepare the Two Radish Caper Sauce. Grate the red radish and white radish (daikon) and place them in a small bowl. Press gently with a paper towel to remove excess liquid.
Add capers, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, salt, and optional dill to the radish mixture. Stir well and refrigerate until serving.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tuna patties in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil as needed for the second batch.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the tuna patties warm, accompanied by the chilled Two Radish Caper Sauce. Garnish with additional parsley, dill, or a wedge of lemon if desired.
