These wonderful tuna cakes are keto, paleo, and gluten-free. They contain no breadcrumbs. Tuna patties are easy, affordable and delicious!

Ingredients

• 2 (7-ounce) cans of tuna

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 egg, beaten

• ½ cup crumbled feta

• 3 tablespoons flax meal

• 2 tablespoons green onions, minced

• 1 tablespoons lemon juice

• 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped, or 1 tsp dried

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• ½ teaspoon lemon zest

• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• Extra feta and sliced green onions for serving

Directions

• Add all ingredients to a medium bowl. Mix with a fork. Form into discs with your hands. They should be about 2 ½ inches in diameter and almost 1 inch thick.
• Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Sauté the tuna cakes for about 5-6 minutes.
•  Turn over and cook an additional 3 minutes on the second side.
• Serve on a bed of spinach or other greens, topped with a dollop of homemade mayonnaise, and a sprinkle of feta cheese and sliced green onions.

Notes

• You will use 4 tablespoons oil for frying, but the tuna cakes will only absorb about half that amount. Nutrition info reflects that.
