If you're looking for a tasty and protein-packed meal, look no further than tuna patties. This article will guide you on how to make delicious and nutritious tuna cakes that are sure to satisfy your taste buds and keep you fueled throughout the day.

To make these high-protein tuna patties, you'll need some simple ingredients. The main star of the dish is, of course, canned tuna. Make sure to choose high-quality tuna packed in water or olive oil for the best flavor. Additionally, you'll need some breadcrumbs, eggs, chopped onions, minced garlic, and a few spices like salt, black pepper, and paprika to enhance the flavor.

To start, drain the canned tuna and place it in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to break up the tuna into smaller chunks. Add the breadcrumbs, eggs, chopped onions, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined. The breadcrumbs will help bind the ingredients together, while the onions and garlic will add a delightful aroma and taste.

Once the mixture is ready, divide it into equal portions and shape them into patties. You can make your patties as large or small as you prefer. If you're aiming for a high-protein meal, it's recommended to make them slightly larger.

Next, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or cooking spray. Place the tuna patties in the skillet and cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown. Make sure to only flip the patties once to prevent them from falling apart.

While the tuna patties are cooking, you can prepare a side dish to accompany them. A simple green salad or steamed vegetables can be a great choice to balance out the meal. Once the patties are done, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
