R.O.D.-Parmesan Tuna/Salmon Patties
Parmesan Tuna (or salmon) Patties
by BamaGal Page 29 - Neighborhood Cookbook
Ingredients:
1 (6 3/4-oz) can albacore tuna (or salmon, I prefer red)
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 large egg
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons ground flaxmeal
1 dash garlic powder
1 dash onion powder
1 dash salt
Directions:
Drain tuna. Blend all ingredients in a medium size bowl and form into patties.
Fry in olive oil or cooking spray until brown on edges. Turn over, continue frying until done.
Contributor's Note: These are VERY GOOD and creamy! Takes away the "fishy"
flavor of the tuna/salmon. Fry up extras to refrigerate for snacks or quick lunches later.
Editor's Note: Flaxmeal, made of ground flaxseed, is rich in omega-3 fatty
acids which appear to help lower the risk of heart disease. Flaxseed adds
a mild nutty flavor to foods and should be included regularly in a healthy
diet. Weight loss surgery patients should use ground flaxmeal rather than flaxseed for
digestibility reasons.
