Tasty Tuna Patties

5.0
(3)

If you're ever pressed for time, start with a couple cans of tuna and you'll have a delicious patty in no time that you can serve a number of different ways. Add them to buns with your favorite toppings for sandwiches, serve them alongside a fresh salad, or make smaller versions of them and serve them as appetizers with tartar sauce on the side. There are a lot of great flavor elements in these easy and versatile patties, but the quantities are small so the flavor still comes out pretty mild. If you're looking for a stronger flavor, increase quantities as you like!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna in water, drained

  • 2 large eggs

  • ¾ cup dry bread crumbs

  • 1 ½ tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 ½ tablespoons finely diced celery

  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • teaspoon ground black pepper

  • teaspoon dried dill weed

  • 1 tablespoon oil, divided, or as needed

Directions

  1. Combine tuna, eggs, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, celery, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, mustard, pepper, and dill in a bowl; stir gently until fully and evenly combined. Shape mixture into 4 patties.

  2. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, gently lay 2 tuna patties into the skillet. Don't over crowd - only add as many patties as comfortably fit with room to flip them.

  3. Cook tuna patties until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side, adjusting the heat as needed if they're cooking too quickly. Repeat with remaining patties, adding remaining oil as needed.
