Tuna Fritters

Busy evening yesterday, no time for a big dinner. I’d saved a quick canned tuna recipe on my phone and thought, “Well, this won’t be mind-blowing, but at least it’s fast and full of protein.”

Boy, was I wrong. This was mind-blowingly delicious. Dani agreed. Crispy, flavorful, and you can barely even tell it’s canned tuna. Should work with canned chicken as well.

Here’s the basic recipe. I didn’t follow these exact ratios. I used more panko than parmesan because that’s what I had. Also used a gluten-free panko and added some granulated onion and garlic. Used dehydrated chives too (I can never use up fresh green onions before they go bad.) Didn’t matter. Still mind-blowing.

Just mix all that together, flatten into fritters, and pan fry in some avocado oil until each side is crispy.

You could also use this basic idea on any leftover whole fish, like salmon and tilapia.
