Delicious and easy Stovetop Tuna Patties with a kick of spice from fresh jalapenos. The cool and creamy Cilantro Lime Dipping Sauce is the perfect compliment to these tuna patties.
Ingredients
Tuna Patties:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small red onion chopped fine
- 1 jalapeno chopped fine
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- 3, 5 oz cans tuna drained
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup gf breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup mayo
- ½ cup cilantro chopped fine
- 1 scallion sliced thin
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- Olive oil or avocado oil for frying
Cilantro Lime Dipping Sauce
- ¾ cup full fat greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp mayo
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped fine
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp lime zest
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Heat a large saute pan to medium and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Once hot, add red onion, jalapeno, garlic, and shredded carrots. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until onions are translucent and have softened. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the drained tuna and use a fork to break into small pieces. Add 2 eggs and stir together until evenly combined.
- Add remaining ingredients - cooked vegetables, breadcrumbs, mayo, cilantro, scallion, and kosher salt. Stir together until smooth.
- Form into 3” wide circular patties that are ~1” thick. You should get ~12-13 patties.
- To the same large saute pan used to cook the vegetables, add 2-3 tbsp of olive oil and heat to medium low. Add patties and cook for 3-5 minutes per side (cooking in batches as needed), or until browned on both sides.
- While patties are cooking, add all ingredients for the cilantro lime dipping sauce to a bowl and whisk together until smooth.
- Serve immediately with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
