BEHIND THESE EASY TUNA CAKES

Easy Tuna Cakes Appetizers Low Sodium Naughty-Kitchen.com

Let’s go back in to time when Tuna Cakes where the popular snack to make.  Remember when we made these for your meal preps. How about back when the diet trend setters were called “Clean Eating” and “Fit Fam”?  Remember those days??

How did I get this idea? I was scrolling on my Instagram and saw that back in 2015, I used to make anything with canned tuna.  It was cheap and easy to make and a good source of getting protein so you won’t be hungry for a minute. 

Plus, I was hard core into fitness and ate quite less than I do now.  Possibly due to the gluttony state that I now live in.  LOL!

WHAT’S IN THESE EASY TUNA CAKES?

  • Canned Albacore Tuna
  • Gluten Free Cornbread Stuffing (If you’re on Keto, do not include)
  • Shredded Cheeses (Taco Blend)
  • Mayo
  • Beaten Egg
  • Juice of a Lemon Wedge
  • Garlic Mustard Aioli (Found it on sale at Walmart!)

HOW TO MAKE THESE EASY TUNA CAKES

You’re in luck if you have 2 canned tunas in your pantry.  If you have one can, this recipe can work by cutting the ingredients in half. 

Grab a bowl, open your canned tuna, drain the juices out (or pour the juice over your pet’s bowl but only if they’ve have been a good pet!)  Flake your tuna, add all the ingredients, and mix everything.

Grab your fancy pan, or your favorite ghetto non-stick pan, or a nonstick flat skillet.  Add a scoop of your tuna mixture and place about 4 pieces. 

Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes until both sides are golden brown.

You’ll want to sprinkle some of your favorite shredded cheeses on top towards the end of your second flip when almost done.

When your tuna cakes are cooked well, plate your tuna cakes and add a dollop of tartar sauce and a sprinkle of chives or dried parsley! Make it pretty, you know 🙂
