I crave Tuna Patties at times and this is how I make them. Sure hit the spot! I double my Lemon-Dill Sauce as I like lots of it! This is easy, so after work, it's great for a tasty meal. I made this with asparagus and use the sauce on it too! A nice change and perfect summer dish! And my cats love these :)
These tuna patties brought back childhood memories. We loved them then and we really loved these now. They are easy to make and can be a meal on their own. Make them smaller and you've got a yummy appetizer. The lemon-dill sauce is creamy and tangy. It's a nice added touch.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp lemon juice, fresh
- 1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 c Italian seasoned bread crumbs + 1/2 cup
- 17 oz tuna, canned (one 12 oz and one 5 oz) drained
- 1/4 c green onions, diced
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
- 2 dash(es) Old Bay seasoning
- vegetable oil
- 1/2 c mayonnaise (can use reduced fat)
- 1 tsp lemon juice, fresh
- 1 tsp grated lemon peel
- 1/2 tsp dill weed
- Mayonnaise, lemon zest, and dill in a bowl. Make the Lemon-Dill Sauce first by just mixing the ingredients together and keep in the fridge until needed. Double recipe if you like a good amount, like me.
- Tuna, breadcrumbs, and seasonings in a bowl. Beat the eggs and mix the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and the 3/4 cup bread crumbs. Fold in the tuna and onions and mix well. Add the pepper and Old Bay seasonings.
- Shaping tuna mixture into six patties.Shape mixture into round 1 inch thick patties, like you would hamburger patties. I was able to make six patties. Put the other 1/2 cup of bread crumbs on a paper plate and hold the patties carefully. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on both sides to dust them. Carefully shake excess off.
