Easy Tuna Patties Recipe

Pretty good--these reminded me of the salmon patties my mother made for me when I was young. I had a little trouble with the first batch falling apart, but on my second batch I made the patties fatter (they kind of looked like baseballs in my skillet) and they seemed to hold together much better. I think next time I might add a little more of the onion and perhaps some other spice to make it a bit more zesty, but the hubs and I did enjoy these very much. Thanks for the recipe! I'll make them again sometime soon!

These tuna patties are easy & awesome! They came out perfect. It's important to make sure you drain the tuna well if it's packed in water, as the excess water can change the consistency and cause the patties to fall apart. For the best results, be sure to beat the eggs for at least 2 minutes before adding the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese (I also added a bit of aged white cheddar), and seasonings. The mixture should have a sticky, gooey breadcrumb-like consistency. Then gently stir in the tuna, making sure to break up any large chunks. When it comes to cooking, pan-fry the patties over low heat until they're as firm as you'd like, about 5 minutes per side. I cooked mine in a cast iron skillet and found that covering with a lid helps them cook all the way through. The key is to not let the seasonings overpower the parmesan cheese, which is a really important flavor in these patties. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your personal taste. Overall, following these steps closely will help ensure your tuna patties turn out perfectly every time! Note: I used minced garlic and chopped scallions vs onions. However, I would have chopped onions very fine or use onion powder to prevent thrm from falling apart. If too soft add a little more breadcrumbs and parmesen cheese to thicken.

I've always made tuna patties with some mashed potatoes, and then some Italian bread crumbs and beaten egg to bind them together. I also sauté some chopped onions in butter before adding them to the mixture, and two cans of drained tuna instead of three. After shaping them into patties, I roll them in more breadcrumbs and let them set for a few minutes before frying them. They are delicious! Tartar sauce is a must! The kids like ketchup as well. My mouth just watered....

I really liked these. I made 2 changes because I didn’t have what the recipe called for - I substituted dill pickle juice for the lemon juice and added 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning and used regular breadcrumbs. Turned out perfect with lots of flavour. Served them with tartar sauce, some rice and roasted veggies. Yum!

We used Albacore tuna, 3eggs, onion powder (didn’t have onion), lemon herb garnish (didn’t have lemon juice), used packets of Parmesan from pizza delivery (only Parmesan I had), Panko. No veg oil so fried them in butter. Husband liked it and gives it 4 stars. He said it was a little dry. Served with garden salad. Will make it again with better planning..

i made this and it was great and easy . i added pickle relish and cayenne pepper small amount ,,put a coating of bread crumbs on the outside. made it in air fryer 350 for 12 minutes . i used 5 tbs imstead of 10.. made a dip of ranch and siracha!! i recommend it

I cut the recipe in half because it was only me eating. But I did add a teaspoon of garlic scape pesto, quarter teaspoon salt free vegetable seasoning, two teaspoons dried home made chives, pepper flakes and unflavored panko instead of Italian. I also made a sauce to go with them.I changed the original recipe quite a bit , it is a very good base recipe. SAUCE: 2 tbs half fat mayo, 1/2 tsp srirracha sauce and 1 tsp Arby's horsey sauce.* In hindsight, I would have readded a little tuna water back into the mix.They cook well in a pan with a little olive oil!Very tasty. Definitely will make again.

The ingredients look great. The only thing that I would do differently is to let them firm up in the fridge for a while.

Very tasty. Liked the addition of the cheese. I refrigerated the patties before cooking and that helped hold the shape.

My toddler happily ate these dunked in ketchup… if that’s not a ringing endorsement of how yummy they are, I’m not sure what is! I made 2/3 the recipe using 2 cans of tuna and one egg, and added about a tablespoon of mayo to help it come together. Made 13 mini-size 2 inch patties.

Doubled the recipe. Used 1/3 cup Italian bread crumbs & 1/3 cup instant potato flakes. Mrs. Dash, 3 eggs, a dollop of sour cream & onion dip and a dollop of honey mustard dip, and a little milk. It turned out great and was very good!

Nice recipe when you don’t have much in the pantry. Usually everyone has a couple cans of tuna, egg , breadcrumb, lemon etc. I sautéed a bit of onion and celery red pepper and a little finely chopped jalapeño pepper from the garden also some dill I had dried. Combined all together and used leftover bread crumb and dredged the cakes . Nice crunch and lovely tang from the Lemon . Served with stuffed zucchini and a dill tartar sauce. I’d like to try it as a sandwich on a soft roll.. with lettuce tomato and pickles.😊

No changes.

I ran out of McCormick chopped onions so I substitute the rest with onion soup mix. I use pickle juice instead of lemon. The husband likes it. Served it with home fries

GREAT

These are easy to make and oh so delicious! It’s one of my husband’s favorite meals!

Great recipe, and kids love these! The only things I would tweak: green onion instead of white, and double-down on the lemon juice. Also, adding a sprinkle of salt on the outside while they are still hot helps elevate things a bit...a nice finishing touch.

You need at least 3 eggs with all those bread crumbs to make a proper mix to form patties, otherwise yummy.

This is pure comfort food heaven.

I tried this last night, and it was a total success! So easy to prepare and absolutely delicious. My friends were impressed, and even my picky eaters loved it. I’ll be making this again and again.
