Description

If you're ever pressed for time, start with a couple cans of tuna and you'll have a tasty tuna patty in no time that you can serve a number of different ways.

Ingredients

2 (5 ounce) cans tuna in water, drained
2 large eggs
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons finely diced celery
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 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.
