My grandmother and mother made these tuna patties on Fridays during Lent. I'm not the biggest fan of tuna, but it's perfect in this dish. These patties are even good cold the next day, if there are any leftovers. -Ann Marie Eberhart, Gig Harbor, Washington

TUNA FISH PATTIES



Tuna Fish Patties image

This is a great recipe I came up with to get rid of leftover bread. I generally use the contents of my vegetable drawer here so I kind of throw in whatever I have at the time, so you can use your own judgment. They taste really nice when eaten with sour cream or low-fat mayo or even on their own - though my husband prefers ketchup. I generally use this recipe as a guideline, so have fun with it!

TASTY TUNA PATTIES



Tasty Tuna Patties image

If you're ever pressed for time, start with a couple cans of tuna and you'll have a delicious patty in no time that you can serve a number of different ways. Add them to buns with your favorite toppings for sandwiches, serve them alongside a fresh salad, or make smaller versions of them and serve them as appetizers with tartar sauce on the side. There are a lot of great flavor elements in these easy and versatile patties, but the quantities are small so the flavor still comes out pretty mild. If you're looking for a stronger flavor, increase quantities as you like!

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (5 ounce) cans tuna in water, drained
2 large eggs
¾ cup dry bread crumbs
1 ½ tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 ½ tablespoons finely diced celery
½ teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon dried dill weed
1 tablespoon oil, divided, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine tuna, eggs, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, celery, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, mustard, pepper, and dill in a bowl; stir gently until fully and evenly combined. Shape mixture into 4 patties.
  • Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, gently lay 2 tuna patties into the skillet. Don't over crowd - only add as many patties as comfortably fit with room to flip them.
  • Cook tuna patties until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side, adjusting the heat as needed if they're cooking too quickly. Repeat with remaining patties, adding remaining oil as needed.
