INGREDIENTS

• 2 (5 oz) cans tuna in water, well-drained and flaked with a fork
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
• 4 tablespoons olive oil for frying*

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to the "keep warm" setting (150-170 degrees F).
2. In a medium bowl, use a fork to mix together the tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, eggs, kosher salt, black pepper and parsley.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
4. Measuring 1/4 cup of the mixture for each cake, fry the patties until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
5. Fry 4 patties at a time, keeping the cooked tuna cakes in a warm oven while you fry the second batch.
6. Serve immediately.

NOTES

• You will use 4 tablespoons oil for frying, but the tuna cakes will only absorb about half that amount.
