- 10 oz Canned Wild Tuna 2 5oz cans, drained
- 1/2 cup Almond Flour
- 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella
- 2 Tbsp Chopped Dill Weed
- 1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 large Egg
- Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp Pepper or to taste
- 2-3 tbsp Avocado oil for frying
In a large mixing bowl, combine tuna, almond flour, mozzarella, dill, mustard, and lemon zest.
Crack the egg and squeeze in the lemon. Season with salt and pepper.
Now, using your clean hands, mix until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Rub your hands with a bit of oil and pinch off about a spoonful of mixture and shape it into a pattie, about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the patties with a bit of space in between onto a tray lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to set.
Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add oil and heat until shimmering. Carefully add patties to the hot oil and sear each side until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes in total.
Once done, remove from the heat and serve warm. Enjoy!
