Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 (5 oz) cans tuna, drained well
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup (30 g) plain breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped onion
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • Olive oil or cooking spray, for the patties

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix drained tuna, egg, breadcrumbs, mayo, mustard, onion, parsley, salt, and pepper until the mixture clumps together.
  2. Divide into 4 even portions, shape into ½‑inch‑thick patties, and spray or brush both sides with oil.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange patties in a single layer and cook 5 minutes, flip, then cook 4 to 5 minutes more until deep golden and crisp.
  4. Serve hot with lemon wedges and a dollop of tartar sauce.

Notes

If the mixture feels a little soft after mixing, let it rest for 5 minutes so the breadcrumbs can absorb moisture. The patties will firm up and flip more easily.
