These savory tuna cakes are a delightful and easy-to-make dish, perfect for a quick meal or snack.
Combine the drained tuna, chopped celery, mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, breadcrumbs, and paprika in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the tuna is well-drained to prevent the mixture from becoming too wet.
Form the mixture into equal-sized patties, about 4-8 depending on your preference.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking while shaping.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the patties to achieve a nice sear.
Cook the patties in the skillet for 5-8 minutes, flipping once, until they are golden brown on both sides.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Serve the patties warm with your choice of sides or dipping sauce.
Garnish with additional parsley or a wedge of lemon for a fresh touch.
