Ingredients
  

  • 2 5oz can chunk light tuna in water
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup plain panko
  • ½ tablespoon mustard *
  • 1 tablespoon spicy mayo*
  • 2 tablespoon cooking oil (I use extra virgin olive oil)
  • kosher salt to taste (I used ¼ tsp)

Topping

  • 1 lemon (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Drain all water from tuna and put in a large bowl
  • Beat egg on a separate small bowl, then stir into the large bowl with tuna
  • Add panko and spices to the bowl and stir
  • Add spicy mayo and mustard and mix all ingredients together
  • Once all ingredients are mixed, form the patties
  • Divide the mixture into 12 parts for mini patties and shape tuna mixture into balls and flatten with a spoon to form patties
  • Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat and add tuna patties, cook until golden brown on both sides- about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Serve warm *

Notes

No spicy mayo? You can use regular mayo and use spicy mustard instead
You can eat these tuna patties alone with some squeezed lemon, over rice with your favorite toppings, with a salad or with burger buns.
