Ingredients

• 2 cans (5 oz each) Canned tuna (in water, drained)
• 0.5 cup Canned sweet corn (drained)
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
• 2 stalks Green onion (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)
• 1 whole Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, canned sweet corn, egg, whole wheat breadcrumbs, fresh dill, and green onion.

Step 2

Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper to the mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 3

Using clean hands, form the mixture into 8 small patties (about 2.5 inches in diameter each). Press them gently to ensure they hold their shape.

Step 4

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place half of the patties into the skillet.

Step 5

Cook the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 6

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and repeat the cooking process with the remaining patties.

Step 7

Serve the tuna patties warm, topped with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired. Pair with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete, healthy meal.
