I've made these for so long that I'm not sure of the recipe origin. They never fail, are easy to make & always good. They also work well & impress as a starter if served with crisp veggies, tartar sauce or a light mayo sauce thinned-with-milk & flavored with lime juice, dill & chives. Makes 4 patties of entree size or 6-8 of starter size. Edited to Add — My spec thx to Chef JillAZ for reviewing this recipe for the Freezer Tag Game in the OAMC Forum & for the info she provided. Pls see Note #2 at the end of Prep Steps for this info.

SERVES 4 , 4 Patties (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (6 ounce) can tuna (water packed)
2 medium size eggs
2 tablespoons lime juice (preferred, but lemon ok)
1 teaspoon dill
1/4 onion, finely minced (red or white)
crushed corn flakes, as bonding ingredient
olive oil, to brown patties

Directions

1
Combine 1st 5 ingredients in a mixing bowl.
2
Add corn flakes til you no longer see any liquid in the mixture, but more is usually better.
3
Divide into 4 equal portions on a cutting board.
4
Shape patties & flatten to 3/4 in thickness.
5
Use spatula to transfer carefully to non-stick skillet & saute over med-low heat in olive oil til golden brown & crisp on both sides.
6
Note #1: A variety of dry bonding ingredients can be used. I use crushed corn flakes or Pepperide Farm dressing mix. I don't care for the mushy texture of the end-product or the difficulty holding the patties together when potato is used.
7
Note #2: For OAMC per JillAZ ~ *To freeze* (uncooked patties) prepare recipe thru Prep Step #4. Place patties in a freezer bag w/layers of parchment paper in between. Seal, label & freeze. *To serve* ~ Thaw in fridge or microwave & cook as directed. ~~ Cooked patties can also be frozen wrapped in plastic wrap & placed in a freezer bag. Thaw in fridge or microwave & reheat on stovetop or in oven.

Made this with salmon. They turned out wonderful. Served with a white creamed pea sauce. Thanks.

These are really good! I used dried cilantro rather than dill (it goes so well w/lime!) and I added 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt (preference) before cooking them on a flat griddle using only fat-free cooking spray. Great! They'd be a 5 except that it took 1 cup of crushed corn flakes to take up all the egg, and so it isn't the low-carb lunch I was seeking. YUMMY! Thanks, twissis

These have a lovely, delicate flavour - a bit different, and not at all fishy. I used a 210 can of red salmon, the other ingredients as listed, and 28 crushed Jatz Lite (they're about the same size as Ritz) as the bonding agent. This gave me four good sized patties that held together nicely during cooking. We had them hot on a buttered, toasted hamburger bun with ketchup, and I kept a patty to try cold. While great hot, they're even tastier cold. Thanks for a quick and easy recipe I'm sure to make again!

These were delicious! Even hubby, who's not particularly fond of tuna, loved these! They are easy to make, and even easier to eat! The hardest part was crushing the cornflakes, as I don't have a food processor, but other than that, these are a snap!! I love the fact that they are healthy too! I just can't say enough good things about this great recipe...thanks so much for posting this!!
