A Newer Version of Tuna Patties

 I don't usually have canned Salmon in the pantry

but always have canned tuna in stock.  And when I am 

choosing tuna, it is albacore tuna packed in

vegetable oil.   The "water packed" versions are 

tasteless to me.  My first choice is always

StarKist Solid White Albacore

We love this brand and it is ZERO carbs which is Keto endorsed.

Tuna Patties

12 oz albacore tuna; drained, reserved

2 ts Dijon mustard

1/2 c panko

1 ts lemon zest

1 tb lemon juice

1 tb liquid; from the cans of tuna

2 tb parsley; chopped

2 tb green onions; fine chop

  salt and pepper; to taste

  Tabasco hot sauce, to taste

1 lg egg

2 tb olive oil

1/2 ts butter

Drain the liquid from the tuna cans. If you are using tuna packed in water, reserve a tablespoon of the tuna water, and add a teaspoon of olive oil to the tuna mixture in the next step.

In a medium bowl, mix together the tuna, mustard, panko, lemon zest, lemon juice, water, parsley, chives, and hot sauce. Sprinkle on salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste the mixture before adding the egg to see if it needs more seasoning to your taste. Mix in the egg.

Divide the mixture into 4 parts. With each part, form into a ball and then flatten into a patty. Place onto a wax paper lined tray and chill for an hour. Don't skip chilling...it is essential to keep patty from falling apart when sautéing

Heat the olive oil and a little butter (for taste) in a cast iron or stick-free skillet on medium high. Gently place the patties in the pan, and cook until nicely browned, 3-4 minutes on each side.

Serve with tarter sauce of your choice.

Yield: 4 patties
