How to make it

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, flake the well-drained tuna with a fork. You want it nice and separated.

  2. 2

    Now, add in the egg, the plain breadcrumbs, your finely diced red onion, and the lovely zest from half of that lemon. Don't forget a good pinch of salt and pepper too.

  3. 3

    Give it all a good mix until everything is just combined. Then, gently shape the mixture into four equal patties.

  4. 4

    Heat about a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once it is warm, carefully place your tuna patties in. Cook them for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until they are beautifully golden brown and heated all the way through.

  5. 5

    Before serving, squeeze the fresh juice from the remaining half lemon right over the top. Enjoy!
