tuna cakes with mock tartar sauce
(1 rating)
Made these for New Year's - they were great! Not fishy-tasting, either. I'm not a tuna fan as I've said before, but had bought some, trying to add fish into the diet. Even the DH liked them.

How To Make tuna cakes with mock tartar sauce
-
1TUNA CAKES: Drain and flake tuna, then add to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
-
2Add vegetables, seasonings, biscuit mix, soy sauce and 1/2 cup panko crumbs. Mix until all is incorportated. Let mixture sit in the bowl for 20 minutes.
-
3Preheat oven to 400°F (375°F for convection).
-
4Place remaining panko into a semi-shallow bowl. Lightly grease or spray a sheet pan. Drop tuna mixture into panko one at a time. Coat with crumbs, lightly toss ball from hand to hand to drop off any excess panko and gently place onto sheet pan, flattening to desired size & thickness. Repeat until mixture is used up. Note: I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup to make the patties and it yielded 12-13. If you halve that, you would get 24/26 appetizer portions.
-
5Total baking time is 15-16 minutes for the larger cakes. I cooked them for 6 minutes then flipped them over and baked an additional 8 minutes. Since I wanted them a bit browner, I flipped to broil and broiled about 3-4 minutes before removing them from the oven. I'm not sure how long to bake the appetizer-sized ones, perhaps 10-12 minutes.
-
6MOCK TARTAR SAUCE: Stir mayonnaise and hot dog relish together.
-
7Serve cakes with sauce over top or on the side. (For dinner, 2-3 cakes to a serving)
