Quick, easy, and packed with flavor, these tuna patties are perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner or a low-carb meal.
Equipment
- Large skillet
Ingredients
- 4 (5-ounce) cans tuna thoroughly drained
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 medium green onions chopped (white and light green parts)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- In a spacious bowl, combine the thoroughly drained tuna, almond flour, chopped green onions, fresh dill, lemon zest, salt, pepper, mayonnaise, eggs, and fresh lemon juice. Mix everything gently until it's well blended.
- Divide the tuna mixture into 8 equal parts. Shape each part into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick, and place them on a tray lined with parchment or waxed paper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Carefully place half of your tuna patties into the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy on the bottom.
- Gently flip the patties and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining oil and tuna patties.
- Serve your delicious tuna patties warm! You can add a dollop of mayo, a squeeze of fresh lemon, or a sprinkle of capers if you like.
