If you love tuna, but you find sandwiches a bore, this is the recipe for you. Tuna cakes are great meal if you’re eating solo, but can be easily doubled, tripled etc., to feed a larger group. Pairs well with Spicy Green Beans and garnished with Chipotle Mayo.

This recipe is very versatile. Don’t like bell peppers? Double the onions or substitute with celery, corn or relish. If you’re feelin’ fancy, simply substitute salmon for tuna. Sorry Charlie!

1 can of your favorite tuna fish, drained
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup bell pepper, chopped
1/4 bread crumbs
1 egg
salt, pepper, Tabasco and / or your favorite seasoning, to taste
cooking spray

Mix tuna, onion, bell pepper, bread crumbs, egg and seasoning in a medium bowl until ingredients are well combined. Form the mixture into two equal sized patties.

Coat a nonstick pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add patties and cook 6-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Spray the tops of the patties with a little more cooking spray before turning. Cook for about 5 more minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
