Fried vs. Baked

The finest tuna patties may be made in a variety of ways. The tuna patties are traditionally fried in oil on a skillet. However, for a less oily texture, we bake our version in the oven. Baked tuna patties retain their crispiness on the exterior, cook evenly, and need very little oil. Fresh, hot, and crispy tuna patties are ready for supper in minutes! Keep the leftovers for lunch in a sandwich or a salad on a bed of lettuce. They’re even great as a high-protein snack to keep you going throughout the day! Whatever you want to do, prepare a double batch since they are so delicious and simple to consume!

In the Oven, Make Tuna Patties or Tuna Cakes

• To keep the sizes uniform, use an ice cream scoop.
• Keep the spherical form of the tuna patties by flattening them out. Apply some oil to the brush.
• Flip the tuna patties after the first baking.
• Brush the top side with oil before baking again (optional). This will make the patties crispier, but it will also increase the calories.
• All of the recipe information, including step-by-step pictures, may be found in the recipe box below.

The tinned albacore tuna has the greatest texture for this dish. Avoid canned tuna, which are usually small pieces that are mushy. Tuna with firm flakes and pieces works best in this recipe. The quantity of egg you need will depend on how dry your tuna is and how well the bread crumbs or panko absorb the liquid. If you’re not sure, start with two eggs and add a third if the mixture is too dry to shape into patties. Instead of crushed pork rinds or almond flour, add bread crumbs for a higher carb variation. This recipe makes 10 patties.

• 3 albacore tuna cans (3 albacore tuna cans), drained (5 ounce-142g cans)
• *see remark above for 2-3 big (2 large) eggs
• 1 medium lemon zest
• 1 tblsp lemon juice (15 ml)
• almond flour or 1/2 cup (55 g) crushed pork rinds
• 3 tblsp. grated parmesan cheese (45 ml)
• 1 celery stalk (1 stalk) coarsely cut
• 3 Tablespoons chopped onion (45 mL)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (2.5 mL)
• dry herbs, 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) (oregano, dill, basil, thyme or any combo)
• a quarter teaspoon (1.25 ml) of Kosher salt, or to taste
• black pepper, freshly cracked
• 1 tblsp (15 ml) olive oil (or more if needed)
• tartar sauce, mayo, ranch, lemon slices (optional for serving)

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet pan.

• Combine the eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, crushed pork rinds or almond flour (you can also use bread crumbs for a higher carb version), parmesan cheese, celery, onion, garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. To make sure everything is mixed together, give it a good stir. Gently fold in the tuna until it is evenly distributed.

• Form the tuna mixture into 2-inch (5-cm) wide x 1/2-inch (1.25cm) thick patties (a large cookie scoop makes this step quick & easy).

• Apply a little coat of olive oil on both sides (a nice cooking spray works well too). Place on the baking sheet pan that has been prepped.

• Bake for 15 minutes, then turn the patties and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the tuna patties are light brown and cooked through (do not overcook or they will become dry). Serve as tuna sliders, salads, etc. with sauces and/or lemon slices.

NOTES ON THE RECIPE: Simple replacements include: For the pig rinds, use bread crumbs, crushed saltines, or any savory cracker, or almond flour. For the dried herbs, use fresh herbs. For the onions, use shallots or green onions.
