Ingredients
  

  • 1 can of tuna 5 oz, drained - Substitute with canned salmon if desired
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs or gluten-free breadcrumbs - For a low-carb option, use crushed pork rinds
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese - Vegan cheese works too!
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onions - Scallions can also be a refreshing substitute
  • 1 egg or chia egg for vegan option - The egg acts as a binding agent
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for coating

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare your mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped onions, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Shape your patties: Use your hands to shape the mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick. You should have around six patties.
  4. Prepare for cooking: Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Add your patties: Place the tuna patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not touch.
  6. Air fry the patties: Cook at 400°F for about 10 minutes. Flip the patties halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
  7. Check for doneness: Once cooked, the patties should be golden brown and crispy on the outside. Adjust cooking time if necessary.
  8. Serve hot: Drizzle with lemon juice and serve warm with your favourite dipping sauce!
