Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 cans (6 ounces each) tuna in olive oil, drained and flaked 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped, plus sprigs for garnish 1/3 cup plain dry breadcrumbs 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 jalapeno chile (ribs and seeds removed), finely chopped 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 cup prepared salsa

Directions

In a large bowl, stir together tuna, egg, cilantro, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and jalapeno. Mix gently until ingredients just hold together.

Using a packed 1/3-cup measure of tuna mixture per patty, shape into 8 cakes.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. Working in batches if necessary, cook cakes until golden brown and crisp on the outside, about 2 minutes per side. Serve hot, accompanied by salsa, and garnish with cilantro sprigs.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 3 stars       02/16/2019   Followed the recipe except I added a little bit of shallot. The recipe is very easy and the tuna cakes stuck together in the pan. The browned nicely. But it was only fair. I would have enjoyed a tuna sandwich with crispy lettuce on fresh rye bread more.

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/23/2013   I love making this recipe over and over. The jalapeno gives it a nice kick. Plus my sister, who hates cilantro loves this dish!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/15/2010   Delicious. I used tuna packed in water and it was still amazing (and less fat)! I could eat all eight myself!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/01/2010   WOW! These were so cheap, so easy, and so GOOD!! I made them according to recipe but added one diced green onion simply because I had it leftover in the fridge and didn't want to waste it. Definitely going into my regular rotation!
