Tuna Cakes

Today I said on my Happening Now in the sidebar section that

I was making tuna cakes for dinner.

Mr. or Miss Anonymous (whoever you are!) asked if I would

post a recipe.  So..here we go! 

They are like crab cakes, except made with tuna.

I don't really have a recipe but I'll tell you how I do it. 

 Amounts are just a guess since I just throw them together.

Tuna Cakes

4 cans of white albacore tuna in water

1 egg, beaten

salt and pepper

garlic powder

onion powder

a drizzle of olive oil

several handfuls of seasoned bread crumbs

panko bread crumbs for a coating

Drain the cans of tuna and mix together with all

the ingredients except the panko.

Form into patties.  I made 6 patties from this amount.

Press both sides into some of the panko bread crumbs

and lay into skillet.  Skillet should be preheated to medium

high heat and have a little butter and olive oil in it.

Brown well on the bottom, then carefully turn with a

spatula and brown the other side.

Serve with tarter sauce.

(I just mix mayo, sweet pickle relish and cocktail sauce)

Tonight I served these with Oven Roasted Brussel Sprouts

and Parmesan Spaghetti Squash.
