Steps:
- For the tuna cakes: Place the drained tuna in a large bowl. Add the bread or breadcrumbs, mustard, mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, onion, parsley, garlic, seafood seasoning, salt and eggs. Toss until evenly combined. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes to let the ingredients absorb the liquid.
- Meanwhile, make the lemon chili mayo: Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, chili powder and cayenne in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 10- to 12-inch heavy-bottomed nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop out about 1/3 cup of the tuna mixture at a time and pat into a round patty shape in your hands, then immediately place it in the skillet. Repeat, working in batches so that you're cooking 3 to 4 tuna cakes at a time, spaced 1 to 2 inches apart. Cook until crisp on the bottom, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook until crisp on the sides and fully cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve the tuna cakes hot with your favorite side, a drizzle of the lemon chili mayo and lemon wedges, if desired.

Steps:
- Beat the egg first, them mix together all the ingredients except the butter. Mix together very well.
- Take and make 6 small patties and compress them really well, make sure they are crumbly or they will fall apart. If the mix is too dry add a splash of milk at a time till its wetter. This recipe was not too dry for me.
- Melt butter in a skillet on medium heat and cook the cakes till browned.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality canned tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in vegetable oil.
- Drain the tuna well before using it. This will help to prevent the tuna cakes from becoming too mushy.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your tuna cakes. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the dish.
- Don't overmix the tuna cake mixture. Overmixing will make the tuna cakes tough.
- Cook the tuna cakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the tuna cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include tartar sauce, mustard, and mayonnaise.
Conclusion:
Tuna cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little creativity, you can create a tuna cake that is sure to please everyone at your table.
