Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna
- 1 piece large egg
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 stalks (chopped) green onion
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the egg, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, chopped green onions, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Step 3
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed into a ball. If it’s too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs; if it’s too dry, add a small amount of mayonnaise.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Place the patties into the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm as is, in a sandwich, or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
