Tuna Patties – Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these tuna patties are sure to become a family favorite quickly! The humble tuna patty gets revamped with help from tangy Dijon mustard, creamy mayonnaise, and bold Parmesan cheese. They’re full of flavor combinations that are both unique and nostalgic.

We’ve all had one of those days when we arrive home after a long day of work and find the fridge empty! It happened to me last week, and as the hunger pangs hit, I was desperate to get something on the table. Then I saw a couple of cans of tuna next to the Dijon mustard, and inspiration hit me!

Less than 30 minutes later, dinner was served in the form of savory, succulent tuna patties! An apparently simple dish with unexpectedly complex flavors made for a memorable meal. So simple yet tasty that it officially found its way into our meal rotation.

Why Are Tuna Patties Popular?

The key is simplicity and versatility! Tuna patties use ingredients that most people have on hand and can be served over a bed of grains, with a side of salad, or as a sandwich. Equally important is the fact that they are budget-friendly. You can feed your entire family with a couple of cans of tuna!

Recipe Ingredients

Tuna Patties recipe ingredients
  1. Tuna – This easy, healthy fish is the star of the show. Any canned tuna is OK, as long as it is drained well.
  2. Garlic, Onion, and Celery – A great way to sneak some more veggies into your meal. The celery also adds texture and crunch!
  3. Eggs – Eggs work as a binding agent and help make a nice firm patty.
  4. Bread Crumbs – I used regular breadcrumbs, but feel free to use gluten-free. Crushed crackers can also be used as a substitute.
  5. Mayonnaise – Gives the patties a tangy flavor and helps keep them moist.
  6. Dijon Mustard – Another ingredient full of zest and tang! Regular yellow mustard can be subbed if you don’t have Dijon.
  7. Parmesan Cheese – I like the robust and bold flavor of Parmesan. Other cheese options are shredded mozzarella or provolone.
  8. Seasonings – Fresh lemon juice and zest, fresh parsley, and Italian seasoning give the tuna patties a flavor kick. However, dried parsley can be used instead of fresh.

How to Make Tuna Patties

Easy to mix all the ingredients.
  • Sauté the Vegetables – Drizzle a little oil into a small saucepan, and bring to medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and celery. Sauté for about a minute or two to let the flavors bloom, be careful not to let it burn. Set aside and cool.
  • Drain tuna and add it to a large bowl.
  • Mix – Add all other ingredients to the tuna, including the sauteed onion and garlic mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined; you can use clean hands for this process.
  • Make the Patties – Divide the mixture into about 6 equal portions, about ¼ cup each. Then shape each portion into patties about 1 inch thick. Place patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least an hour; this will help them stay together better during frying.
  • Cook Them – Heat the oil in a skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Using a fish turner, gently lay the tuna patties in the pan and fry until browned, 3-4 minutes on each side.
  • Serve warm.

Recipe Variations

  1. Get creative with the seasonings by adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tuna mixture.
  2. Try swapping the parsley for cilantro for a citrusy, slightly spicy flavor.
  3. Convert your tuna patty into a burger by serving it on a bun with your favorite burger toppings.

Tips and Tricks

  1. If you’re running out of time, you can skip the refrigeration. Or pop the patties in the freezer for 5 minutes for a quick cold blast.
  2. You can double the recipe if you want leftovers. It’s easy to store them in the fridge or freezer.
  3. Why not try making your own breadcrumbs instead of using store-bought? Place slices of bread on a cookie sheet and bake at 300℉/150℃ until the bread crumbles easily. Let cool, then crumble in a plastic bag and store in an airtight container.

Make-Ahead Instructions

If you skip the refrigeration process, this meal can be on the table in less than 30 minutes! On the other hand, if you like to get a jump on meal prep, the patties can be formed up to 6 hours ahead of time and stored in the fridge until cooking time.

Serving and Storage Instructions

Tuna patties are best served hot, right out of the skillet. Additionally, you can dip them in ketchup, hot sauce, or your favorite salsa. Surprisingly, these patties are also delicious served cold! I often serve them right out of the fridge as a quick snack or cold sandwich filling.

These are hearty little guys. You can store tuna patties in the fridge for three days or in the freezer for three months once fully cooled.

To reheat, put them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through. And although it isn’t my favorite option, you can also reheat them in the microwave in 30-second intervals until heated.

FAQs

How do you keep tuna patties from falling apart while cooking?

There are a couple of tricks. First, press the edges of the patties together tightly when forming them. Additionally, try not to flip the patties too much while cooking. Let them brown on one side before flipping.

Can I bake tuna patties in the oven?

Obviously, I recommend frying both for taste and texture. But yes, you can bake the patties on a greased baking sheet at 400℉/204℃ for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through. You’ll know they are done when they turn a beautiful golden brown.

Oil-packed tuna vs. water-packed tuna

It’s really a matter of personal preference. Your preferred canned tuna will work for this recipe. Of course, I always recommend canned tuna from a sustainable source.

What to Serve With Tuna Patties

I enjoy mine on potato bread rolls with homemade tartar sauce. Sauteed Brussels sprouts on the side are also fantastic. Turnip greens or kale salad make perfect sides.
