Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 5 oz. cans of tuna in water (well drained)
3 garlic cloves (grated)
1/4 cup finely chopped white onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 large egg
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons mayo
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried parsley
4 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

Steps:

  • Start by draining canned tuna from water. I use a small colander to do that.
  • Next, combine it with garlic, onion, salt and pepper, lemon juice and zest, egg, breadcrumbs, mayo, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and dried parsley. Mix well.
  • Combine remaining breadcrumbs and grated cheese in a shallow dish. Scoop 1/4 cup of tuna mixture, form into a patty and lightly coat with breading mixture.
  • Fry cake in pan with oil, until nicely browned on each side. Remove from pan and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with spinach or other greens, additional lemon wedge or even simple aioli.

TUNA CAKES



Tuna Cakes image

The quickest fish cake you will ever make! These come together very easily and can be dressed up with chipotle mayo, tartar sauce, Russian dressing, Tapatio, or just a bit of mayo and lemon. If you want to be sure your patties do not fall apart, try shaping the patties as directed and then letting them sit in the refrigerator for an hour. (I did not find this necessary). This recipe is adapted from the Kraft website.

Time 25m

Yield 8 tuna cakes (4 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Two 5- to 6-ounce cans tuna packed in oil or water, drained
2 to 3 slices sandwich bread, torn into small pieces (about 1/2 cup total) or 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon brown or Dijon mustard
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 large lemon, zested and juiced
1/4 small red onion, finely diced (about 2 tablespoons)
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
1 large garlic clove, grated
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay seasoning (can substitute Cajun seasoning)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Olive oil, for frying
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • For the tuna cakes: Place the drained tuna in a large bowl. Add the bread or breadcrumbs, mustard, mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, onion, parsley, garlic, seafood seasoning, salt and eggs. Toss until evenly combined. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes to let the ingredients absorb the liquid.
  • Meanwhile, make the lemon chili mayo: Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, chili powder and cayenne in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 10- to 12-inch heavy-bottomed nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
  • Scoop out about 1/3 cup of the tuna mixture at a time and pat into a round patty shape in your hands, then immediately place it in the skillet. Repeat, working in batches so that you're cooking 3 to 4 tuna cakes at a time, spaced 1 to 2 inches apart. Cook until crisp on the bottom, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook until crisp on the sides and fully cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Serve the tuna cakes hot with your favorite side, a drizzle of the lemon chili mayo and lemon wedges, if desired.
