Time 40m

Yield 1 cake, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (6 ounce) can tuna in water, drained
1 1/2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon pepper (or more to taste)
1/2 small white onion, minced
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 dashes Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil

Steps:

Beat eggs and then combine with tuna, soy sauce, pepper, onion, panko and melted butter.
Form into patties (make small ones, so everyone gets 2 for a meal) and chill in refrigerator for 20 minues.
In the meanwhile, make your dipping sauce. Mix the mayo, garlic powder, lemon juice, lemon pepper and Tabasco sauce (feel free to add more as you like).
Place dipping sauce in a sandwich size Ziplock baggie.
Heat oil in large pan.
Cook tuna cakes for approx 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown, turning cakes only once to get good color.
When browned on each side, remove and place on a paper towel to drain off excess oil.
Take baggie with the dipping sauce and barely snip off one of the corners of the baggie. Drizzle the sauce over the top of each cake.
