It’s been hotter than all get out here lately; and as much as I love cooking, the last thing I want to do is stand over a hot stove when its time to make dinner right now.
These Fish Cakes are perfect to whip up on a hot summer evening, or any time really. They come together in one bowl, are made with really inexpensive ingredients, and are super filling. Did I mention everybody in my family LOVES these!? Even my picky eater! Give them a try and they might become one of your family’s favorites too!
Fish Cakes
This cheap, easy meal is very quick to whip up and is kid friendly too!
Equipment
- frying pan
- mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 4 5 oz cans tuna in water, drained
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 6 tbsp sliced green onions
- 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in mixing bowl. This is most easily done by hand.
- Divide mixture into 8 portions, about 1/3 cup each.
- Roll each portion into a ball and flatten out to about 1/2" thick. Place on a plate while oil heats up in frying pan.
- Heat oil in frying pan. Drop a little piece of fish cake into pan. When it begins to sizzle, the pan is ready.
- Place 4 cakes at a time in pan. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes per side or until crispy and brown, and transfer to a paper towel to drain.
- Serve warm with tartar or cocktail sauce. Our kids even like them dipped in Ranch!
This is our new favorite lunch! My kids love dipping them in sour cream. Lunch is always a hard meal to plan, so I love how easy and healthy this is! Thank you!
So glad your family enjoyed these! We’ve never tried them dipped in sour cream but we might have to give that a go!
