Ingredients
  

  • 15 oz canned Albacore Tuna in water, 3 standard 5 oz cans
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated I used Parmigiano Reggiano
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 Tbs mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbs mustard
  • 1 tsp fresh ground pepper
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic (optional) You can also use minced, or roasted
  • 3 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp dried chili powder or cayenne (optional)
  • vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Gather all the ingredients. Drain tuna and flake meat with fork in a large bowl.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, except the vegetable oil. Mix well to combine thoroughly.
  • Using 1/4 cup as a scoop, measure and shape the mixture into patties.
  • In a large pan, heat up about vegetable oil. The oil should cover the bottom of the pan. When ready, arrange the patties on the pan. Do not overcrowd. Fry on medium heat until the patties are golden brown (about 2 to 3 minutes per side).
  • Drain cooked patties on paper towel to remove oil. Serve warm with salad. Enjoy!
