Polynesian Tuna Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine tuna, scallions, bread crumbs, egg, mustard, garlic powder, Sriracha, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until the mixture sticks together. Divide into 6 equal portions and shape into patties.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry the patties until deeply browned and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a small baking tray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the center of the fish cakes are firm, 5 to 7 minutes.

Steps:

• Place the potato into a small pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two, then mash the potato with a potato masher or fork in a large bowl.
• Mix the tuna, egg, onion, Dijon mustard, bread crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper into the mashed potato until well-blended. Divide the tuna mixture into 8 equal portions and shape into patties.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pan fry the tuna patties until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the tuna, 1/3 cup bread crumbs, egg, onions, red pepper, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder and cayenne.
• Divide mixture into eight portions; shape into 2-inch balls.

Steps:

• Add confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla and most of the toasted coconut. Let cake cool completely and spread frosting on top. Decorate top with toasted coconut, if desired. Variation: Substituting 1 teaspoon of lemon zest for the vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice for the milk will produce a nice lemony frosting.
