Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake the tuna into smaller pieces.
Step 2
Add the panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, Dijon mustard, egg, green onions, parsley, garlic powder, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Step 3
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should be moist but firm enough to hold its shape when formed into patties.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Cook the patties in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each patty for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the Spicy Tuna Cakes warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a lemon-garlic aioli or extra Sriracha for more heat.
