These savory tuna cakes are a delightful twist on the classic tuna patty, featuring fresh herbs and a crispy golden crust.
Combine the drained tuna, egg, finely chopped onion, parsley, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the tuna is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the mixture.
Shape the mixture into patties about 1/2 inch thick.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking while shaping.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the patties to achieve a crispy crust.
Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Serve the patties warm with your choice of side or dipping sauce.
Pair with a fresh salad or a dollop of tartar sauce for a complete meal.
