Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 10 ounces of drained canned tuna, 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until just combined.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into 6-8 patties, each about 3/4-inch thick. Cover the patties and chill them in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- In a large skillet, pour in 2 tablespoons of neutral oil and heat it over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Carefully place the chilled patties into the hot skillet and cook without moving them for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
- Using a spatula, gently flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve with fresh lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes
Chill patties for best shape. Use crushed pork rinds or almond flour as panko alternatives. Ensure oil is hot before frying. Cook time is crucial for moisture retention. Uncooked patties can be frozen individually for up to 3 months.
