Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and add it to a mixing bowl. Flake the tuna with a fork until it’s finely shredded.
Add the egg, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the tuna.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Shape the mixture into 4 evenly-sized patties. If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs. If it’s too dry, add a small amount of mayonnaise.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tuna patties into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the tuna patties warm with a side of ranch dressing for dipping or drizzling. Optionally, pair with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
