Ingredients

• 2 5 oz cans Canned tuna
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish.

Step 2

Drain the canned tuna thoroughly, breaking it apart with a fork in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 3

In the same bowl, mix the drained tuna with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully combined.

Step 4

Evenly spread the tuna mixture into the prepared baking dish, leveling it with a spoon or spatula.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and chopped parsley. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with the oil and cheese.

Step 6

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the tuna mixture to form the crunchy topping.

Step 7

Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is heated through.

Step 8

Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm alongside a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables.
