Tuna Fish Cakes
These Tuna Fish Cakes turned out amazing. This recipe was inspired by my brother’s suggestion to come up with a recipe to use all those cans of tuna fish in the pantry. So this tuna recipe is that way but it may be a reason to go buy more tuna fish.
Tuna Fish Cakes
I started the tuna fish cake recipe with two cans of tuna fish in a large bowl but it is fine to just half the recipe for just one.
I diced up very small celery, yellow pepper, onion, and one whole jalapeno (about 1/2 cup total). Add this to the tuna and stir. Next add 2 eggs, sriracha sauce to taste (leave it out if you don't like hot and spicy), finely shredded cheese (whatever amount you want), whatever seasoning you like and then bread crumbs or some other crumble mixture. (crackers, pretzels, bread crumbs, or crumbled potato chips) I used seasoned stuffing that I finely ground in the food processor. Use enough to make the patties stick together. They will be kind of crumbly but squeeze them together good.
Heat a pan with a little oil or nonstick spray. Drop in the tuna fish cake patties when the pan is hot and cook on that side a few minutes. You can make then whatever size you want, small for an appetizer or large for dinner. Try not play with the tuna fish cakes too much because they will fall apart. Flip very carefully and cook on the other side a few minutes. Shut off stove and sprinkle with cheese and let melt. I used mozzarella but you can use whatever you like or have on hand.
When the cheese is melted on the tuna fish cakes they are ready to eat. Very quick meal with a very inexpensive high protein tuna recipe product.
