These savory tuna cakes are a delightful twist on a classic recipe, featuring a crispy exterior and a flavorful, tender interior.
Combine the chopped green onion, Bisquick, ground pepper, egg, and canned tuna in a mixing bowl until well mixed.
Ensure the mixture is evenly combined to help the patties hold their shape during cooking.
Heat the unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbling.
Use medium heat to prevent the butter from burning and to achieve a golden crust on the patties.
Shape the tuna mixture into small patties, about the size of your palm, and place them in the skillet.
Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking while shaping the patties.
Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
Flip the patties gently using a spatula to keep them intact.
Serve the tuna cakes warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor and presentation.
