Ingredients
Scale
- 6.4 oz. package chunk tuna (canned, drained)
- 1 avocado (peeled and pitted)
- ¼ cup almond flour
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Olive oil (to grease the pan)
Instructions
- Mash the Avocado: In a mixing bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the drained tuna, almond flour, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocado.
- Form the Patties: Using your hands, divide the mixture into 4–6 portions and shape them into patties.
- Heat the Pan: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat
- Cook the Patties: Add the patties to the pan and fry for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and crispy. Flip carefully to keep them intact.
- Plate and Serve: Remove the patties and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve immediately with a dipping sauce, a side salad, or on a bun for a delicious sandwich.
Notes
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture feels too wet, add an extra tablespoon of almond flour. If it’s too dry, mix in a teaspoon of olive oil.
- Flavor Boost: Enhance the patties with additional seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or fresh herbs.
- Serving Ideas: Pair with zesty garlic aioli, spicy sriracha mayo, or a crisp cucumber salad for a complete meal.
