From Everyday Food. Be sure to fully drain the tuna. If the mixture is too wet it will fall apart. My husband, who is normally a pretty picky eater, really liked these.
Ingredients:
3 (6 ounce) cans tuna in olive oil, drained and flaked
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup prepared salsa
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, stir together tuna, egg, cilantro, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Mix together until ingredients just hold together.
2. Scoop out 1/3 cup tuna mixture and form into patty. Repeat with remaining tuna mixture. You should have 8 patties.
3. Heat olive oil over medium heat in large skillet. Working in batches, cook cakes until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Serve hot accompanied with salsa.
