Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (10 oz / 283g) canned tuna, drained well
  • 1 large (50g) egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup (60g) Panko or plain breadcrumbs
  • 3 tbsp (45g) mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup (15g) green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) black pepper
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) vegetable or canola oil

Instructions:

  1. Combine the drained tuna, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, sliced green onions, lemon juice, and seasonings in a bowl.
  2. Use a fork to flake the tuna and fold in the ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overwork the mixture, or the patties will become dense.
  3. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per patty and gently press them into discs roughly 1 inch thick.
  4. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  5. Carefully place the patties in the pan, leaving space between them.
  6. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side without moving them, until they develop a mahogany-colored crust. Flip once and cook until the edges are crisp and the center is heated through.
