If you want another easy and quick lunch or dinner, then this Lemon Garlic Tuna Cakes recipe is a must! Make these delicious patties without any fuss and serve with spinach or your favourite greens, some extra lemon wedge, or simple aioli.

INGREDIENTS

1 large egg

2 5-ounces cans of tuna in water well drained

1/4 c. finely chopped white onion

1 tbsp lemon zest

1 tsp lemon juice

3 garlic cloves grated

1/4 c. plain breadcrumbs

2 tbsp mayo

2 tbsp olive oil divided

1 tsp dried parsley

3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese

4 tbsp plain breadcrumbs

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

How to make Lemon Garlic Tuna Cakes

Step 1: Using a small colander, drain the canned tuna.

Step 2: Mix the drained tuna with garlic, onion, salt and pepper, lemon juice and zest, egg, breadcrumbs, mayo, 1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese, and dried parsley until well incorporated.

Step 3: In a shallow dish, combine the rest of the breadcrumbs and grated cheese. Spoon 1/4 c. of the tuna mixture and shape it into a patty, then lightly coat with the breading mixture. Repeat with the remaining tuna mixture.

Step 4: In a pan with oil, fry the cake until both sides are nicely browned. Set aside when done and rest the tuna cakes for about 5 minutes.

Step 5: Serve the tuna cakes warm with spinach or your preferred greens, extra lemon wedge, or simple aioli. Enjoy!

NOTE:

Cook/bake the cakes and let them cool completely before arranging them on a large baking sheet. Place in the freezer for 2 hours. After 2 hours, remove from the freezer and transfer the tuna cakes in a Ziploc bag. Seal and squeeze as much air from the bag. Label the bag and freeze the tuna cakes for up to 3 months. Before serving, thaw in the fridge, then reheat.
