Spicy Stovetop Tuna Patties

Step 1

Heat a large saute pan to medium and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Once hot, add red onion, jalapeno, garlic, and shredded carrots. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until onions are translucent and have softened. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add the drained tuna and use a fork to break into small pieces. Add 2 eggs and stir together until evenly combined.

Step 3

Add remaining ingredients - cooked vegetables, breadcrumbs, mayo, cilantro, scallion, and kosher salt. Stir together until smooth.

Step 4

Form into 3” wide circular patties that are ~1” thick. You should get ~12-13 patties.

Step 5

To the same large saute pan used to cook the vegetables, add 2-3 tbsp of olive oil and heat to medium low. Add patties and cook for 3-5 minutes per side (cooking in batches as needed), or until browned on both sides.

Step 6

While patties are cooking, add all ingredients for the cilantro lime dipping sauce to a bowl and whisk together until smooth.

Step 7

Serve immediately with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
