Medical-grade titanium. No microplastics. No bacteria. No compromises.
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients together using a fork or your hands until well combined. The mixture should be moist but hold together when shaped.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once hot, place the patties in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd them (cook in batches if necessary).
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the tuna patties hot as-is, or use them as a filling for burgers with buns, lettuce, tomato, and your choice of condiments.
