Tuna Patties with Dill Sauce image

These tender golden tuna patties, draped with a creamy dill sauce, have a wonderful blend of flavors. Parsnips are the "secret ingredient". They replace part of the traditional bread crumbs...and add moisture, fiber and extra nutrition.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I used a flax egg instead. The patties still held together perfectly. ?
