Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cans tuna in water, drained (10 oz)
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, chopped
  • 1/4 red onion, chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp mayo
  • 1/3 cup cassava flour, or substitute oat or all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Olive oil, to pan fry

Yogurt Dill Sauce

  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 tbsp fresh chopped dill
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Pinch salt
  • Olive oil, to top

Directions

  1. Flake the tuna in a large bowl then add in the egg, mayo, scallions, onion, jalapeno and spices. Mix until well combined.
  2. Add in the cassava flour and mix well.
  3. Heat a large skillet with 1-2 tbsp of oil on medium heat. Form about 5 patties with the tuna mixture, squeezing them well between your palms.
  4. Pan-fry each side for about 3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Alternatively, you can bake them on 375 F for 15 minutes, flipping halfway.
  5. While the tuna fritters cook, combine the yogurt dill sauce together in a bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the top before serving.
  6. Serve fresh over your tuna fritters. Leftovers will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 4 days.
