Never Fail Tuna Patties (Salmon Works Too) image

I've made these for so long that I'm not sure of the recipe origin. They never fail, are easy to make & always good. They also work well & impress as a starter if served with crisp veggies, tartar sauce or a light mayo sauce thinned-with-milk & flavored with lime juice, dill & chives. Makes 4 patties of entree size or 6-8 of starter size. *Edited to Add* -- My spec thx to Chef JillAZ for reviewing this recipe for the Freezer Tag Game in the OAMC Forum & for the info she provided. Pls see Note #2 at the end of Prep Steps for this info. :-)

Categories     Tuna

Time 21m

Yield 4 Patties, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (6 ounce) can tuna (water packed)
2 medium size eggs
2 tablespoons lime juice (preferred, but lemon ok)
1 teaspoon dill
1/4 onion, finely minced (red or white)
crushed corn flakes, as bonding ingredient
olive oil, to brown patties

Steps:

  • Combine 1st 5 ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  • Add corn flakes til you no longer see any liquid in the mixture, but more is usually better.
  • Divide into 4 equal portions on a cutting board.
  • Shape patties & flatten to 3/4 in thickness.
  • Use spatula to transfer carefully to non-stick skillet & saute over med-low heat in olive oil til golden brown & crisp on both sides.
  • Note #1: A variety of dry bonding ingredients can be used. I use crushed corn flakes or Pepperide Farm dressing mix. I don't care for the mushy texture of the end-product or the difficulty holding the patties together when potato is used.
  • Note #2: For OAMC per JillAZ ~ *To freeze* (uncooked patties) prepare recipe thru Prep Step #4. Place patties in a freezer bag w/layers of parchment paper in between. Seal, label & freeze. *To serve* ~ Thaw in fridge or microwave & cook as directed. ~~ Cooked patties can also be frozen wrapped in plastic wrap & placed in a freezer bag. Thaw in fridge or microwave & reheat on stovetop or in oven.

These patties are a great way to use up leftover salmon. They're also a healthy and affordable meal option.

These patties were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll drain the tuna better next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my patties fell apart in the pan. Maybe I didn't mix them together well enough.

These patties were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the patties turned out perfectly. They were golden brown and crispy on the outside, and flaky and moist on the inside.
