Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and add it to a large mixing bowl. Flake it lightly with a fork.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into the bowl with the tuna and mix well to combine.
Step 3
Add the breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is cohesive and holds together when pressed.
Step 4
Using your hands, shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties (about 2.5 inches in diameter). Place them on a plate and set aside.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Carefully place the tuna patties in the hot skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip gently to avoid breaking them.
Step 8
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, a squeeze of lemon, or alongside a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
