My grandmother and mother made these tuna patties on Fridays during Lent. I'm not the biggest fan of tuna, but it's perfect in this dish. These patties are even good cold the next day, if there are any leftovers. -Ann Marie Eberhart, Gig Harbor, Washington

TUNA FISH PATTIES



Tuna Fish Patties image

This is a great recipe I came up with to get rid of leftover bread. I generally use the contents of my vegetable drawer here so I kind of throw in whatever I have at the time, so you can use your own judgment. They taste really nice when eaten with sour cream or low-fat mayo or even on their own - though my husband prefers ketchup. I generally use this recipe as a guideline, so have fun with it!

ASIAN-INSPIRED TUNA CAKES



Asian-Inspired Tuna Cakes image

Found this recipe in "The Metro St. Louis Guide to Smart Parenting" as a kid-friendly healthy recipe. Very simple and very tasty! The sauce rEALLY makes the recipe! The soy and panko give a nice twist to the familiar boring tuna cakes of yesteryear. Can be used as a main dish or as an appetizer. NOTE: Due to the concensus of reviewers, I have decreased the original 1/4 cup soy sauce to 1.5 tablespoons.

TUNA PATTIES/BURGERS JAPANESE STYLE



Tuna Patties/Burgers Japanese Style image

I have already posted a salmon patty recipe, so I thought I would move on to tuna. I buy Ahi tuna, which is most commonly used in raw Japanese fish dishes such as sashimi. Ahi refers to two species, bigeye tuna and yellowfin tuna. With yellowfin being most common, it has nice red pigmentation to skin, it is more perishable than bigeye and looses its red pigmentation quicker. So when buying look for a good bright red colour for freshness.

Categories     Tuna

Time 28m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

olive oil
850 g fresh ahi tuna (see description above)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 green onions, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon Japanese soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh coriander, Finely chopped
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, flakes (Japanese breadcrumbs I found these a few years ago and have never gone back to regular breadcrumbs, )
2 teaspoons wasabi powder
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Cut tuna into chunks place tuna, mayo, mustard, vinegar and lemon juice into a food processor or blender and pulse until ingredients are just combined. Add onion, soy sauce, ginger and garlic and pulse again to combine.
  • Add coriander and panko (note: save enough flakes to coat the outside of patties for frying.) Mix these ingredients until combined.
  • Shape into patties it will make 8 medium patties (2 per person) or 6 Large burgers if you want to serve them this way in buns. Place patties on tray and put in fridge to chill for 15-20 Min's.
  • Heat oil in pan (you may need 2) Or you can grill on BBQ. Add patties to pan and cook on each side about 4-5 Min's. The patties should have a nice golden brown outside and be medium rare inside. If you over cook tuna it becomes very dry.
  • For the wasabi mayonnaise.
  • Mix a little water with the wasabi powder to form a paste add mustard and mayo and mix well place in refrigerator for about 30 Min's to allow flavours to infuse.
  • To serve place atop salad greens and serve the wasabi mayonnaise on the side.

ASIAN TUNA PATTIES



Asian Tuna Patties image

I invented/adapted this recipe from an asian pork cutlet recipe. Tweaked it a bit more to make it conform with the WW Core eating plan. We (including kids) love these, hope you enjoy, too! (The teaspoon of sesame oil adds 1 point to the whole recipe.)

Provided by toriaborg

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 6-8 patties, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (6 ounce) cans light chunk tuna in water, drained
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon sesame oil (adds point)
2 eggs
1 (1 ounce) package instant plain oatmeal
2 tablespoons whole green onions, sliced
sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat skillet.
  • In large mixing bowl, flake tuna and add in the rest of the ingredients (except sesame seeds.).
  • Drop spoonfuls to desired size on heated skillet. The mix will be kind of runny, not something you want to try to mold in your hands. If you like, you can lightly sprinkle sesame seeds on top before turning (this is mostly for looks.).
  • Great served with soy sauce, brown rice and steamed veggies or with a gyoza dipping sauce. *Note: If you're not concerned about the WW Core-ness of this recipe, you can use breadcrumbs instead of oatmeal and increase the oil a bit. Serving size is 2-3 patties.

Tips:

  • Use fresh tuna. Fresh tuna will give your patties a better flavor and texture than canned tuna.
  • Chop the tuna finely. This will help the patties to hold together better.
  • Add plenty of flavorings. The flavors in this recipe are well-balanced, but you can adjust them to your liking. For example, you could add more ginger, garlic, or chili peppers.
  • Don't overcook the patties. Overcooked patties will be dry and tough. Cook them just until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the patties with your favorite dipping sauce. A simple soy sauce-based sauce or a spicy Sriracha mayonnaise would both be good choices.

Conclusion:

These Asian tuna patties are a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. They are perfect for a healthy and satisfying lunch or dinner. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
