1 (6 oz) can Premier Catch Wild Jalapeño Albacore Tuna, drained
1 egg
1/4 cup panko or breadcrumbs
2 tbsp Greek yogurt or mayo
1 tbsp chopped green onion
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Squeeze of lime, for the tuna mixture
¼ tsp smoked paprika

Directions

Tuna Cakes

In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, egg, panko, Greek yogurt or mayo, green onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and mix until just combined.
Divide into four equal portions and firmly shape into patties about ¾-inch thick. If time allows, chill the patties for 10 minutes before cooking.
Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through.

Lime Crema

Whisk together the 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, and salt. Serve alongside the tuna cakes or drizzle over the top. Garnish with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro, if desired.
