Easy Baked Tuna Patties

These delicious little nuggets are kept on the healthy side by baking them instead of frying. And using canned tuna makes them a cinch to put together!

Ingredients:

Tuna Patties

2 - 170g cans albacore tuna, drained (or about 12 oz)

1 egg

2 tbsps finely chopped onion

1 tsp dry parsley

1 tbsp mayonnaise

1 tsp dijon mustard

1/2 tsp sriracha sauce

1 1/2 tbsps lemon juice

1 tsp minced garlic

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/8 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp relish

1/4 + 1/4 cup panko crumbs

Avocado cream:

2 tbsps mashed avocado

1 tbsp mayonnaise

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp relish

a few drops hot sauce

Combine 1/4 cup panko crumbs with the rest of the patty ingredients. Mix well then form into patties. I used a 1/4 cup dry measuring cup to make 7 - 1 X 1 1/2" patties. Just press in the mixture and pop it out. Coat the patties in the remaining 1/4 cup panko and place on a parchment line baking sheet. Refrigerate 1 hour.

Then bake in a 425°F oven for 20 minutes. While baking the patties combine the avocado cream ingredients and chill until serving.

These tuna patties go well with the avocado cream, sriracha sauce or sweet chili sauce. I like mine sitting in a pool of chili sauce topped with avocado cream 😋

Makes 3 servings of 2 patties each with 1 extra to fight over!
