These savory tuna cakes are a delightful twist on the classic tuna patty recipe, featuring a zesty flavor profile and a crispy texture.
Drain the tuna thoroughly and place it in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the tuna is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the mixture.
Add the mayonnaise, scallions, cayenne pepper, black pepper, egg, and half of the bread crumbs to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
Mix gently to keep some texture in the tuna.
Form the mixture into four equal patties.
Use damp hands to prevent sticking while shaping the patties.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the patties to achieve a crispy crust.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Serve the tuna cakes warm with your choice of side or dipping sauce.
Pair with a fresh salad or a tangy dipping sauce for a complete meal.
