Ingredients:
- 2 cans (about 10 ounces each) tuna, drained
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine drained tuna, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, chopped celery, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and the egg.
- Mix the ingredients well until everything is evenly combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
- Form the mixture into patties. The size is up to you, but a typical size is about 3 inches in diameter.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Carefully place the tuna patties in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, transfer the tuna patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve the tuna patties hot with your favorite sauce, on a bun as a sandwich, or over a bed of fresh greens.
