Serves: 2 PRINT THIS

For the patties:

3 can Lukina’s Special Bluefin Tuna, drained
2 eggs
2 tsp lemon juice
3//4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup shallots, diced
Pepper, to taste
Neutral cooking oil (such as vegetable oil or canola oil)

For the spicy mayo sauce:

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp sriracha
Black pepper, to taste

Method

1 Add the mayo, lemon juice, mustard, sriracha, and pepper to a bowl and whisk until well combined. Place in the fridge until you are ready to serve.

2 In a large bowl, beat the eggs and lemon juice until combined. Add in the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese and stir to combine.

3 Add the tuna and onion and gently fold in, until well combined; season with pepper.

4 Using your hands, gently shape the tuna mixture into small balls (roughly 3cm thick). Place on a baking sheet to prevent sticking.

5 Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, place patties in the hot oil and fry for around 3 minutes per side (until golden brown).

6 Serve immediately, with spicy mayo on the side.
