Our favorite homemade Tuna Patties are crunchy, flavorful, and so easy to make! This inexpensive and quick dinner can be on the table in under 30 minutes, so it’s perfect for your hectic weeknights.
Ingredients
- 12 oz can tuna, drained
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- ½ cup Panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Lemon wedges, optional for serving
- Homemade tartar sauce, optional for serving
Instructions
- In a medium size bowl, add tuna, egg, mayonnaise and lemon juice, stir until well combined. Add regular (not panko) bread crumbs and mix together until well blended.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, about 1/3 cup each. Shape into 4 patties using your hands.
- Place the Panko bread crumbs on a shallow plate and coat the outside of the tuna patties with the Panko crumbs.
- Using a frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Carefully place all 4 tuna patties in the pan and cook on each side for about 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and crunchy.
- Serve immediately with tartar sauce and lemon wedges, as desired.
Notes
Storage: When properly stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, these tuna patties will stay fresh for up to 3 days. If you’d like to freeze them, store them in individually and keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months. We like to reheat leftover tuna patties in the air fryer, it makes them crispy again!
