• 1 green onion, finely minced
• 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• 75gplain panko or coarse breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs)
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

How To Make Tuna Cakes Recipe?

• Prep the Tuna: Drain the tuna and break it into small pieces with a fork.
• Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the tuna, parsley, green onion, Old Bay, garlic powder, salt, breadcrumbs, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and eggs. Mix well.
• Shape Patties: Use a ⅓ cup to form 8 patties. Press them to shape with your hands. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
• Cook Patties: Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pan on medium-high. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Repeat with the next batch if needed.
• Serve: Serve the patties immediately with your choice of sauce or over rice, couscous, or quinoa.

Recipe Tips:

• Chill the patties: Refrigerate for 15 minutes to keep the patties from falling apart while cooking.
• Use a non-stick pan: This helps the patties cook evenly and makes flipping easier.
• Don’t overmix: Just mix the ingredients until combined to keep the cakes tender.
• Taste and adjust: Add more seasoning if you like stronger flavors.
• Make ahead: Prepare the patties a day before and cook when needed.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the tuna cakes cool to room temperature, then put them in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Freeze: Freeze the patties for 2-3 hours on a baking sheet, then move them to a container or bag. Store for up to 1 month.
• Reheat: Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side until hot and crispy.
