I have just realized that I looove tuna.
Maybe not JUST realized. I mean, I have been experimenting a lot with tuna salad, such as my apple tuna salad or my pesto tuna salad, but I just haven’t realized how quick and easy it is to make anything else with it.
But this is one of the quickest and easiest things you could ever want to make and still be tuna satisfied. Perfect for those busy weekdays!
Or weekends.. I mean, I’m always up for some tuna, for any time of the day! I just made ANOTHER variation of tuna salad (I will share it soon), and had it for breakfast, which frankly, may be the best time of day to eat it. Then you have a toothbrush on hand to take the tuna breath away. Total win!
But I couldn’t even make these last for a day. They were gone almost as soon as I took them out of the skillet. Which is why the pictures aren’t too great, but the patties sure were!
Tuna Patties
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 3 (170g) cans tuna, drained
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- pepper to taste
- oil for frying
Instructions
- Beat together the eggs and lemon juice in a medium bowl, and stir in the cheese and breadcrumbs to make a paste. Fold in the tuna and the onions and mix well. Add the pepper, and shape into 1 inch thick patties.
- Heat the oil on a skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties until golden brown, around 5 minutes per side.
Thanks so much for getting back to me so soon. I will look for them.
Your welcome! I hope they turn out for you two!
Just found your website and the recipe for tuna patties. They look great but my husband can’t eat cheese, Any sub for the cheese?
You could add more breadcrumbs, or sub in a vegan parmesan (I really like Kelly’s Croutons vegan parmesan if you can get it)
There is nothing like a good fish cake!
I often forget about tuna also and then rediscover it every once in a while. These patties sound like a great lunch!
