I crave tuna patties at times, and this is how I make them. This sure hits the spot! I double my Lemon-Dill Sauce as I like lots of it. They are easy to make. So after work, it's great for a tasty meal. I made this with asparagus and used the sauce on it too! A nice change and the perfect summer dish! And my cats love these :)

These tuna patties brought back childhood memories. We loved them then and we really loved these now. They are easy to make and can be a meal on their own. Make them smaller and you've got a yummy appetizer. The lemon-dill sauce is creamy and tangy. It's a nice added touch.

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs + 1/2 cup
17 ounces tuna, canned (one 12 oz and one 5 oz) drained
1/4 cup green onions, diced
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

How To Make tuna patties with lemon-dill sauce

Step 1

Make the Lemon-Dill Sauce first by just mixing the ingredients together and keep in the fridge until needed. Double recipe if you like a good amount, like me.

Step 2

Beat the eggs and mix the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and the 3/4 cup bread crumbs. Fold in the tuna and onions and mix well. Add the pepper and Old Bay seasonings.
Step 3

Shape mixture into round 1 inch thick patties, like you would hamburger patties. I was able to make six patties. Put the other 1/2 cup of bread crumbs on a paper plate and hold the patties carefully. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on both sides to dust them. Carefully shake excess off.
Step 4

When all are ready to cook, heat about 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a fry pan on stove, medium heat until it is good and hot but not smoking. Add three patties at a time and fry about 4-5 minutes on each side. Add a little more veg oil when adding the second batch. The time it cooks depends on how thick your patties are. They should be golden brown.
Step 5

Serve with the lemon-dill sauce or tarter sauce. These may be small but are filling. Can serve two patties each for three or one patty for six if doing a brunch. Enjoy!
