Tuna Patties

Tuna Patties 2 large eggs 2 tsp lemon juice, fresh 1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese 3/4 c Italian seasoned bread crumbs + 1/2 cup 17 oz tuna, canned (one 12 oz and one 5 oz) drained 1/4 c green onions, diced 1/4 tsp ground pepper 2 dash(es) Old Bay seasoning vegetable oil LEMON DILL SAUCE 1/2 c mayonnaise (can use reduced fat) 1 tsp lemon juice, fresh 1 tsp grated lemon peel 1/2 tsp dill weed How to Make Tuna Patties with Lemon-Dill Sauce Mayonnaise, lemon zest, and dill in a bowl. Make the Lemon-Dill Sauce first by just mixing the ingredients together and keep in the fridge until needed. Double recipe if you like a good amount, like me. Tuna, breadcrumbs, and seasonings in a bowl. Beat the eggs and mix the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and the 3/4 cup bread crumbs. Fold in the tuna and onions and mix well. Add the pepper and Old Bay seasonings. Shaping tuna mixture into six patties. Shape mixture into round 1 inch thick patties, like you would hamburger patties. I was able to make six patties. Put the other 1/2 cup of bread crumbs on a paper plate and hold the patties carefully. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on both sides to dust them. Carefully shake excess off. Frying tuna patties in frying pan. When all are ready to cook, heat about 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a fry pan on stove, medium heat until it is good and hot but not smoking. Add three patties at a time and fry about 4-5 minutes on each side. Add a little more veg oil when adding the second batch. The time it cooks depends on how thick your patties are. They should be golden brown.
