Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 10 oz. tuna in water (two 5 ounce cans; well drained)
  • 3 garlic cloves (grated)
  • ¼ cup finely chopped white onion
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 4 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

Instruction

  • Start by draining canned tuna from water. I use a small colander to do that.
  • Next, combine it with garlic, onion, salt and pepper, lemon juice and zest, egg, breadcrumbs, mayo, ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese and dried parsley. Mix well.
  • Combine remaining breadcrumbs and grated cheese in a shallow dish. Scoop ¼ cup of tuna mixture, form into a patty and lightly coat with breading mixture.
  • Fry cake in pan with oil, until nicely browned on each side. Remove from pan and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with spinach or other greens, additional lemon wedge or even simple aioli.
