Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 2 - large eggs
- 2 teaspoon(s) lemon juice, fresh
- 1/4 cup(s) grated Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup(s) Italian seasoned bread crumbs + 1/2 cup
- 17 ounce(s) tuna, canned (one 12 oz and one 5 oz) drained
- 1/4 cup(s) green onions, diced
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) ground pepper
- 2 dash(es) Old Bay seasoning
- - vegetable oil
- LEMON DILL SAUCE
- 1/2 cup(s) mayonnaise (can use reduced fat)
- 1 teaspoon(s) lemon juice, fresh
- 1 teaspoon(s) grated lemon peel
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) dill weed
Instruction
- Make the Lemon-Dill Sauce first by just mixing the ingredients together and keep in the fridge until needed. Double recipe if you like a good amount, like me.
- Beat the eggs and mix the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and the 3/4 cup bread crumbs. Fold in the tuna and onions and mix well. Add the pepper and Old Bay seasonings.
- Shape mixture into round 1 inch thick patties, like you would hamburger patties. I was able to make six patties. Put the other 1/2 cup of bread crumbs on a paper plate and hold the patties carefully. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on both sides to dust them. Carefully shake excess off.
- When all are ready to cook, heat about 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a fry pan on stove, medium heat until it is good and hot but not smoking. Add three patties at a time and fry about 4-5 minutes on each side. Add a little more veg oil when adding the second batch. The time it cooks depends on how thick your patties are. They should be golden brown.
- Serve with the lemon-dill sauce or tarter sauce. These may be small but are filling. Can serve two patties each for three or one patty for six if doing a brunch. Enjoy!
