If your like me you always have a few cans of tuna in your pantry and come in really handy when you want to make a simple fast meal . I have been making traditional tuna cakes for years and have really enjoyed them so I thought it was time to make them healthier by creating my Low Carb Tuna Cakes. The Mayo Lemon Dip is a great complement to the Low Carb Tuna Cakes and I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.
Tip: You can also make them very small and serve them as an appetizer!
So lets get started and I will show you how to make them!
3 188 grams caned white tuna, in water
2 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 Tablespoons ground flax seeds
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried dill
dash black pepper
2 Tablespoons avocado or olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Drain the tuna and in a bowl using a fork break the tuna into small flakes
Add the eggs, lemon, Dijon mustard, flax seed, dill and pepper. Mix well.
Make the tuna mixture into 6 patties
In a skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Place each patty onto the skillet and cook for 3 minutes per side.
( I used 2 pie lifters and gently turn the patties over)
