TUNA PATTIES WITH LEMON-DILL SAUCE



Tuna Patties With Lemon-Dill Sauce image

These tuna patties brought back childhood memories. We loved them then and we really loved these now. They are easy to make and can be a meal on their own. Make them smaller and you've got a yummy appetizer. The lemon-dill sauce is creamy and tangy. It's a nice added touch.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large eggs
2 tsp lemon juice, fresh
1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 c Italian seasoned bread crumbs + 1/2 cup
17 oz tuna, canned (one 12 oz and one 5 oz) drained
1/4 c green onions, diced
1/4 tsp ground pepper
2 dash(es) Old Bay seasoning
vegetable oil
LEMON DILL SAUCE
1/2 c mayonnaise (can use reduced fat)
1 tsp lemon juice, fresh
1 tsp grated lemon peel
1/2 tsp dill weed

Steps:

  • 1. Make the Lemon-Dill Sauce first by just mixing the ingredients together and keep in the fridge until needed. Double recipe if you like a good amount, like me.
  • 2. Beat the eggs and mix the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and the 3/4 cup bread crumbs. Fold in the tuna and onions and mix well. Add the pepper and Old Bay seasonings.
  • 3. Shape mixture into round 1 inch thick patties, like you would hamburger patties. I was able to make six patties. Put the other 1/2 cup of bread crumbs on a paper plate and hold the patties carefully. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on both sides to dust them. Carefully shake excess off.
  • 4. When all are ready to cook, heat about 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a fry pan on stove, medium heat until it is good and hot but not smoking. Add three patties at a time and fry about 4-5 minutes on each side. Add a little more veg oil when adding the second batch. The time it cooks depends on how thick your patties are. They should be golden brown.
  • 5. Serve with the lemon-dill sauce or tarter sauce. These may be small but are filling. Can serve two patties each for three or one patty for six if doing a brunch. Enjoy!

TASTY TUNA PATTIES



Tasty Tuna Patties image

If you're ever pressed for time, start with a couple cans of tuna and you'll have a delicious patty in no time that you can serve a number of different ways. Add them to buns with your favorite toppings for sandwiches, serve them alongside a fresh salad, or make smaller versions of them and serve them as appetizers with tartar sauce on the side. There are a lot of great flavor elements in these easy and versatile patties, but the quantities are small so the flavor still comes out pretty mild. If you're looking for a stronger flavor, increase quantities as you like!

TUNA PATTIES WITH WARM LEMON DILL SAUCE



Tuna Patties with Warm Lemon Dill Sauce image

These patties are so moist and tender! Mild flavor profile kicked up a bit with the tangy and creamy warm sauce! I have been making these for about 25 years now. We love them! I rounded up the prep and cooking times, but I usually have this completely done in 20 minutes. Since I was a kid, we always have tuna patties with tater...

Cook on other side for 5 minutes. Remove to a plate, keep warm.

TUNA PATTIES WITH THREE DIPPING SAUCES



Tuna Patties With Three Dipping Sauces image

I was never much a fan of tuna patties, but I was tired of the same old same old tuna, and wanted the convenience they offer, I kept experimenting until I came up with these. I think they are very good, and are even better with one of the three dipping sauces I like to make with them (the mustard dill sauce is adapted from the Joy of Cooking). Made smaller into bite-sized pieces they also make great appetizers when served with the sauces. They are great cold as well, and even will tend to keep a bit of the crispness. Prepare the dipping sauce first so they can sit a bit in the fridge to let the flavors blend. If you can make the sauces the day before or early in the day, even better. Any creamy dill sauce is also good with these, or feel free to use your own favorite. They are even good plain without any sauce. As far as the crackers go, Ithe recipe calls for Ritz crackers, but I have also used Club, and even plain saltines or soda crackers in a pinch, although a bit of the richness of flavor is lost. I've also combined crackers when I've had some of each left over. Although you can make them into crumbs in a blender, I like to use my tabletop electric mini-chopper because it gives a better, coarser texture. The blender crumbs are very fine and will give excellent results as well, I think the slightly coarser crumbs are a bit better.

Categories     Tuna

Time 30m

Yield 10 patties

Number Of Ingredients 27

20 buttery crackers (like ritz)
2 (7 ounce) cans canned tuna, drained and well-flaked
1/4 cup very finely minced onion
2 tablespoons very finely minced bell peppers
1 slice American cheese, finely minced or 2 tablespoons finely shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon dried dill
oil (for frying)
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill or 2 teaspoons dried dill
1 -2 tablespoon sugar
salt and pepper
1/2 cup olive oil or 1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard or 3 tablespoons your favorite mustard
1/4 cup honey
1 -2 tablespoon mayonnaise, depending on how mild you like the sauce
2 teaspoons white wine (optional)
1/4 teaspoon dried mint
salt and pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • In a food chopper, processor or blender, process the crackers into crumbs and set aside.
  • In a bowl, combine the flaked tuna, onion, bell pepper, cheese, mayonnaise, egg, salt, pepper, giner and dill. Add 6 tablespoons of the cracker crumbs and mix very well with a fork, making as smooth as possible. The texture should be soft, but firm enough to be able to form into patties. If needed, add a bit more of the cracker crumbs.
  • Put the remainder of the cracker crumbs in a shallow dish. Scoop out a scant 1/4 cup of the tuna mixture, roll into a ball, put into the crumbs, press down to flatten the pattie to about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick, then turn and dredge the other side with the crumbs. Put on a plate and continue until all the tuna mixture is used up.
  • If you can, let the tuna patties sit in the fridge for about 1/2 hour to set a bit.
  • In a large skillet (I like to use my electric set at 375) add enough oil to coat the entire bottom with a thin layer. When heated, add the patties and cook until well-browned and crispy on one side, then turn to brown and crisp the other side. Add more oil if needed as you go along. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel and top with a 2nd paper towel to help drain some of the oil, then serve with your favorite dipping sauce, or even plain. They are also good served cold.
  • Mustard Dill Sauce: In a bowl, combine the mustard, lemon juice, dill, sugar, salt and pepper and whisk until smooth. Add the oil gradually while whisking until all the oil is incorporated and the sauce is thickened. Let this chill in the fridge to blend flavors.
  • Honey Mustard: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth and well blended. Let chill in the fridge to blend flavors.
  • Curried Mayonnaise: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth and well-blended. Let chill in the fridge to blend flavors.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, high-quality tuna steaks or tuna fillets. Frozen tuna can also be used, but it should be thawed completely before cooking.
  • To ensure the patties stay moist and flavorful, do not overcook them. Cook them until they are just opaque in the center.
  • If you don't have time to make the dill sauce, you can substitute a store-bought tartar sauce or ranch dressing.
  • These tuna patties can be served on a variety of different breads or rolls. Try them on slider buns, dinner rolls, or even English muffins.
  • For a healthier option, bake the tuna patties instead of frying them. Bake them at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.

Conclusion:

These flavorful tuna patties with dill sauce are a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual lunch. With their simple ingredients and delicious taste, these tuna patties are sure to become a family favorite.
