Ingredients

2 5 oz. cans of tuna in water (well drained)
3 garlic cloves (grated)
1/4 cup finely chopped white onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 large egg
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons mayo
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried parsley
4 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

Steps:

Start by draining canned tuna from water. I use a small colander to do that.
Next, combine it with garlic, onion, salt and pepper, lemon juice and zest, egg, breadcrumbs, mayo, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and dried parsley. Mix well.
Combine remaining breadcrumbs and grated cheese in a shallow dish. Scoop 1/4 cup of tuna mixture, form into a patty and lightly coat with breading mixture.
Fry cake in pan with oil, until nicely browned on each side. Remove from pan and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with spinach or other greens, additional lemon wedge or even simple aioli.

Ingredients

3 cans (6 ounces each) tuna in olive oil, drained and flaked
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped, plus sprigs for garnish
1/3 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
