Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (15 ounce) can mackerel in brine, drained
1 small onion, chopped
1 (5 ounce) can tuna packed in water, drained
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons salt-free seasoning blend (such as Mrs. Dash®)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried sweet basil
1 (3.5 ounce) bag pork rinds, crushed
butter-flavored cooking spray

Steps:

  • Mix mackerel, onion, tuna, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, eggs, Dijon mustard, seasoning blend, paprika, and basil together in a bowl. Add pork rind crumbs, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, until mixture holds together. Form mixture into balls and flatten into 1/2-inch-thick cakes.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and grease with cooking spray. Arrange cakes in the hot skillet and spray each cake with cooking spray.
  • Cook cakes, working in batches if needed, in the hot skillet until browned, 3 to 5 minutes; gently flatten cakes with the back of a fork. Flip cakes and cook until other side is browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer cakes to a paper towel-lined plate.
