Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup Dijonnaise
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest and 1 tablespoon fresh juice, plus wedges for serving
1/3 cup chopped dill pickle
2 cans (each 5 ounces) tuna, preferably in water, drained and flaked
1 cup peeled, grated carrot (from 2)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Arugula and halved cherry tomatoes, for serving

Steps:

In a bowl, stir together Dijonnaise, lemon zest and juice, and pickle. Add tuna, carrot, and 1/4 cup panko; stir until well combined. Season to taste. Form into 4 firmly packed patties, each about 1 inch thick. Coat in remaining 3/4 cup panko, pressing it into patties with your hands to adhere.
Heat oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium until shimmering. Add cakes and cook, flipping once, until crisp and golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes total. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, lightly drizzle arugula and tomatoes with oil, tossing to coat; season to taste. Serve cakes warm over arugula-tomato salad, with lemon wedges alongside.
