CRISPY TUNA CAKES WITH LEMON CHILI MAYO

All the flavor of crab cakes at a fraction of the price. These crispy patties are made with canned tuna and a few basic seasonings you probably already have in your fridge and pantry. Prep these in advance then cook them just before serving or pull them together from scratch for a super quick dinner any night of the week. These tuna cakes are perfect served with mixed greens or your favorite veggie side or tuck them into burger buns for a warm and savory twist on an old-fashioned tuna sandwich.

Steps:

  • For the tuna cakes: Place the drained tuna in a large bowl. Add the bread or breadcrumbs, mustard, mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, onion, parsley, garlic, seafood seasoning, salt and eggs. Toss until evenly combined. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes to let the ingredients absorb the liquid.
  • Meanwhile, make the lemon chili mayo: Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, chili powder and cayenne in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 10- to 12-inch heavy-bottomed nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
  • Scoop out about 1/3 cup of the tuna mixture at a time and pat into a round patty shape in your hands, then immediately place it in the skillet. Repeat, working in batches so that you're cooking 3 to 4 tuna cakes at a time, spaced 1 to 2 inches apart. Cook until crisp on the bottom, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook until crisp on the sides and fully cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Serve the tuna cakes hot with your favorite side, a drizzle of the lemon chili mayo and lemon wedges, if desired.

Two 5- to 6-ounce cans tuna packed in oil or water, drained
2 to 3 slices sandwich bread, torn into small pieces (about 1/2 cup total) or 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon brown or Dijon mustard
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 large lemon, zested and juiced
1/4 small red onion, finely diced (about 2 tablespoons)
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
1 large garlic clove, grated
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay seasoning (can substitute Cajun seasoning)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Olive oil, for frying
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving, optional

ZESTY LEMON TUNA CAKES

This is a great recipe that I found on the Starkist Tuna site. It is one of the few fish cake recipes that does not break up with being turned in the pan. I did add an egg to the original recipe. The Zesty Lemon Pepper Tuna in the pouch gives these cakes a little different flavor and we enjoyed them. I served these with tarter sauce and hamburger buns.
