CRISPY TUNA CAKES WITH LEMON CHILI MAYO

Crispy Tuna Cakes with Lemon Chili Mayo image

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.

Time 25m

Yield 8 tuna cakes (4 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

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

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.

ZESTY LEMON TUNA CAKES

Zesty Lemon Tuna Cakes image

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.

In a large bowl combine all of the ingredients apart from the panko crumbs and stir to mix well together. Season with salt and pepper.
Scoop out the mixture, shape into a ball in your hands then roll in panko crumbs, press the patty down into a round shape. (I used an ice cream scoop, each patty is just under ¼ cup of mixture.)
Once you have rolled all of the mixture into balls and coated them in the crumbs they are ready to fry. You can either fry straight away or if you want to make them in advance - cover with clingfilm and leave in the fridge until ready to use.
Add a few tablespoons of neutral oil to a large non-stick frying pan and warm to a low to medium heat.
