Fresh tuna makes all the difference in this recipe and is worth the expense. Pulse it about 5 times in the food processor to finely chop.

Ingredients:

mayonnaise

2 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise

1 tablespoon fat-free milk

1/2 teaspoon grated lime rind

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1/8 teaspoon ground cumin

3/4 pound tuna steaks, finely chopped

3/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper

1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried mint

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon dry breadcrumbs

1 tablespoon finely chopped onion

1 tablespoon fat-free mayonnaise

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon olive oil

cooking spray

Directions:

1. To prepare mayonnaise, combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and chill.
2. To prepare tuna cakes, combine tuna and next 8 ingredients (tuna through salt) in a bowl; stir until well-blended. Divide tuna mixture into 4 equal portions; shape each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Dredge patties in 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs.
3. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add patties, and cook 3 minutes on each side or un-til browned. Serve with mayonnaise.
