Low Carb Tuna Patties in 20 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Flake the drained tuna in a large bowl with a fork. Continue until no large chunks remain but the fish isn't a puree.
2. Stir in the mayonnaise, egg, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Note: Mix until the liquid is evenly distributed.
3. Fold in the diced celery and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the batter is fully incorporated and holds its shape when pressed.
4. Heat avocado oil in a non stick skillet over medium heat. Wait until the oil shimmers to ensure the pan is hot enough.
5. Shape the mixture into 6 equal patties, approximately 1 inch thick. Place them gently in the pan.
6. Sear for 3-5 minutes per side. Cook until a deep golden brown crust forms and the edges look crisp.
7. Remove patties from the pan.
8. Let them rest on a plate for 2 minutes. Note: This allows the carryover heat to set the center.
