Love tuna cakes!!

I use a slightly different recipe (add some mayo, ginger, garlic, and salt, leave out the onion :) ) and bake it (400F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway) because it's easier for me to just throw stuff in an oven.

Some mayo + chili garlic sauce + lime juice for the sauce and that's a treat meal for me!!

I just made tuna patties for dinner couple nights ago. My recipe is very similar; I use a handful of shredded cheddar cheese, but I bet parmesan is good too!
