EASY TUNA PATTIES

We love the texture of the canned albacore tuna the best for this recipe. Try to avoid the canned tunas which are very mushy.The amount of egg will vary depending on the dryness of your tuna and the absorption of the bread crumbs or panko. If you are unsure, start with 2 eggs, and if the mixture seems too dry to easily form into patties, add a 3rd egg.For keto, use crushed pork rinds or almond flour instead of panko and regular bread crumbs.

Ingredients

3 cans albacore tuna (, (5 ounce-142g cans) drained)
2-3 large eggs (*see note above)
zest of 1 medium lemon
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup panko ( or regular bread crumbs (keto version with crushed pork rinds or almond flour))
3 Tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 stalk celery (, finely chopped)
3 Tablespoons minced onion
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried herbs ((oregano, dill, basil, thyme or any combo))
1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt (, or to taste)
fresh cracked black pepper
2 Tablespoons Olive oil (, for frying (or more if needed))
(optional for serving) tarter sauce, mayo, ranch, lemon slices

Steps:

In a bowl, combine the eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, panko or bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, celery, onion, garlic powder, dried herbs, salt and pepper. Stir the mixture to make sure everything is combined. Gently fold in the tuna until just combined.
Shape the tuna mixture into patties about 2-inches (5cm) wide x 1/2-inch thick (1.25cm). If patties are too soft to handle, chill them for at about 1 hour or until firm. This will make them easier to handle during frying.
Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Fry both sides of the tuna patties until they are golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.Serve with sauces and/or lemon slices.

These patties are great dipped in ketchup, mustard, or hot sauce. They are also great as a sandwich.

TUNA FISH PATTIES

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!
