Ingredients

• 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 stalks green onion
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 medium red radish
• 0.5 cup white radish (daikon)
• 2 tablespoons capers
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon dill (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt (for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine canned tuna (drained), breadcrumbs, egg, chopped parsley, finely chopped green onion, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until it forms a cohesive mixture. If it feels too dry, add a teaspoon of Greek yogurt or water to help bind.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into 8 medium-sized patties (approximately 2.5 inches wide). Place them on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 10 minutes to help them firm up.

Step 4

While the patties chill, prepare the Two Radish Caper Sauce. Grate the red radish and white radish (daikon) and place them in a small bowl. Press gently with a paper towel to remove excess liquid.

Step 5

Add capers, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, salt, and optional dill to the radish mixture. Stir well and refrigerate until serving.

Step 6

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tuna patties in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 7

Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil as needed for the second batch.

Step 8

Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the tuna patties warm, accompanied by the chilled Two Radish Caper Sauce. Garnish with additional parsley, dill, or a wedge of lemon if desired.
