Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (5 oz / 142g each) canned tuna, drained thoroughly
  • 2 tbsp (30g) mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp (15g) Dijon mustard
  • 1 large (50g) egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup (60g) Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp (20g) red onion, finely minced
  • 1 tbsp (4g) fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp (5ml) lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) neutral oil

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Use a fork to flake the tuna until no large clumps remain.
  2. Stir in the minced onion, parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, pepper, and salt.
  3. Fold in the beaten egg and grated Parmesan. Gently stir in the breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together when pressed.
  4. Divide the mixture into 5 equal portions and shape them into patties roughly 1 inch thick.
  5. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Carefully place the patties in the pan and sear for 4–5 minutes per side.
  6. Remove the patties when they achieve a mahogany-colored crust and feel firm to the touch. Let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
