Tuna Cakes Recipe

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, add the diced tuna, crushed panko or crackers, 2 beaten eggs, parsley, salt and pepper to taste, and lemon juice. Mix gently and set aside for 10 minutes.
2. Set up your dredging station with one shallow tray containing the flour, another with the 1 beaten egg, and a third with the fine breadcrumbs or crushed panko.
3. Shape the tuna mixture into patty shapes and flatting the top. Carefully dip the cakes into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the egg, then into the crumbs, pressing them into the cakes. Set aside on a wire rack while you finish shaping and dredging the rest.

4. Heat the vegetable oil over medium heat in a skillet to come ¼ inch up the side of the pan. When hot, carefully add the tuna cakes, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes. Brown the sides for 1 minute. Set aside on a wire rack while you finish cooking the rest. Enjoy!
